They knew what governments could do. They also knew what a king could do. Also, historically, Oliver Cromwell was relatively fresh in their minds - remove the king and become the king. The idea was to give the new country a chance by protecting specific rights that historically did not exist in other countries ruled by kings and queens - to put the power in the people's hands. Blue Train - in essence they were giving up control - a truly new way of thinking for a group of victors.
