He ruled as a military dictator.
After becoming Lord Protector (1653) Cromwell concentrated power in himself and the army, governed under the Instrument of Government but frequently dissolved parliaments, relied on the military (including the rule of the Major-Generals) to enforce order, and enforced strict Puritan moral codes (closing theaters, restricting festivities).
