yeha but whatever I did so far is it right or not?

Certainly! I can help clarify the concept of a ruler and the idea of a republic in relation to the execution of Charles I in England.

In a general sense, a ruler refers to an individual or a governing body that holds authority and exercises power over a group of people or a territory. The role of a ruler can vary based on different forms of government and historical contexts.

A republic, on the other hand, is a specific form of government where power rests with the people and their elected representatives, rather than with a monarch or a single ruler. In a republic, the head of state is typically a president or an executive chosen by the citizens through elections, and decisions are made collectively according to the rule of law.

Now, to address your statement about Charles I and the execution in relation to a republic, it is true that the execution of Charles I in 1649 did not immediately establish a republic in England. Instead, it led to the establishment of the Commonwealth of England, where power was held by the Parliament, led by Oliver Cromwell.

The term "republic" is often associated with a government without a monarch, and while the Commonwealth did not have a monarch, it still had elements of a mixed government, combining elements of both monarchy and republic. Cromwell eventually assumed the position of Lord Protector, effectively acting as a head of state with significant power, similar to a monarch. This period, known as the Commonwealth, lasted until 1660 when the monarchy was restored with Charles II becoming the king.

So, to summarize, while the execution of Charles I did not immediately establish a full-fledged republic, it did lead to the establishment of the Commonwealth, which had some characteristics of a republic but also retained elements of mixed government. The complete transition to a republic in England happened only after subsequent historical events, such as the Glorious Revolution in 1688, when the monarchy was permanently limited and parliamentary rule was firmly established.
