Because the Stuart kings had used a standing army against the people of England, the populace generally opposed its establishment. But when William II found he lacked power to discipline the military mutineers who had supported James II in 1689, Parliament passed the first Mutiny act which not only granted the monarch that power but also recognized the existence of a standing army. Distrust, however, continued as did the debate over the merits of a standing army.
