Are we celebrating the defeat of terrorists or are we remembering why Guy Fawkes and company wanted ro blow up Parliament in the first place? I’m American and, frankly, I’m confused by the whole thing.

Was the theory that Elizabth would be easy to manipulate due to her inexperience?
I think that was part of it but it was also that she was the only person in line for the throne (she was third in line) who was Catholic.
The plot was about putting a Catholic monarch on the throne and she was the only real option.
But I am sure the plotters expected her to be easy to manipulate as well and mainly be a figurehead.
