grand remonstrance

Grand Remonstrance (ri-mon-str[schwa]nts). Hist. A protest document issued by the House of Commons in 1641, setting forth numerous political grievances against Charles I. • The document demanded three primary remedial measures: (1) improvements in the administration of justice, (2) appointment of trustworthy ministers, and (3) enforcement of the laws against Roman Catholics. It was the first major split between the Royalist and Parliamentary parties, and it led Charles to seek the arrest of the five members who pushed the document through Commons.
