Best Answer

The Act of Supremacy established Henry VIII as not only the King of England but the head of the Anglican Church as well. This meant he did not have to answer to any religious ruler and had absolute power over decisions of both church and state in Britain. This power, in a time when the Pope controlled nearly everyone, was unprecedented.

Henry VII strengthened his position by executing or disgracing those who had a legitimate claim to the throne that could rival that of the Tudors.
