Short Parliament
- the first of two parliaments summoned by Charles I in 1640 (the other being the Long Parliament). Due to its insistence on seeking a general redress of grievances against him before granting the money he required, Charles dismissed it after only three weeks.短期议会（1640年查理一世召集的两次议会的第一次［第二次叫长期议会］, 由于议会坚持在批准他所需的款项之前, 必须寻求一个纠正其冤情的总方案, 查理仅在三周之后就解散了议会）。
