The Irish Rebellion which started in October 1641 brought the control of the army back into the discussions between King and Parliament.
Led by John Pym, Parliament presented the King with the Grand Remonstrance which was passed in the House of Commons by 11 votes ( 159 – 148 ) on 22 November 1641.
It listed over 150 perceived " misdeeds " of Charles ' reign including the Church ( under the influence of foreign papists ) and royal advisers ( also " have engaged themselves to further the interests of some foreign powers ") the second half of the Remonstrance proposed solutions to the " misdeeds " including church reform and Parliamentary influence over the appointment of royal ministers.
December 1641 Parliament asserted that it wanted control over the appointment of the commanders of the Army and Navy in the Militia Ordinance.
The king rejected the Grand Remonstrance and refused to give royal assent to the militia bill.
