He ruled as a military dictator.
After becoming Lord Protector (1653) Cromwell governed with strong army backing, used ordinances and the major‑generals to enforce order, dissolved parliaments when they resisted, and enforced Puritan moral policies. He did not free Charles I (Charles had been executed in 1649), did not abandon Puritanism, and did not reopen theaters or pubs (public amusements were suppressed).
