By the early 1600s, there was a growing population of beggars and vagabonds in England due to a combination of factors including economic downturns, population growth, and the dissolution of monasteries that once provided social welfare. The right to trial by jury had already been established, there were limits on the power of the monarch, and while there were titled nobles in the House of Commons, they did not dominate it. Class distinctions were still present in English society.
