18 de jul. de 2005 · Terry F, on 18 Jul 2005 • Link. "The Committee of Safety, established by the Parliamentarians in July 1642, was the first of a number of successive committees set up to oversee the English Civil War against King Charles. It was made up of fifteen Members of Parliament.
What followed was a complete breakdown of political order as elements of the army leadership, organised in the Committee of Safety (established in October 1659), competed for authority with the Rump Parliament in a succession of failed regimes.
AT the beginning of the English Civil War parliament had to create for itself, without precedent, an executive which was efficient for war, responsible to parliament and easily dismissed when no longer needed. The first sustained experiment, the Committee of Safety, has generally been neglected1 or misunderstood2 by constitutional his- torians.
Twelve years-passed before a Committee of Safety was again used. When the Long Parliament was restored in 1659 it appointed, on May 7th, six of its own members and three military officers to be a Committee of Safety, to take "especial and effectual care of the Preservation of the Peace and Safety" of the Commonwealth.
