How did James 1 and Charles 1 break Parliament?

James I and Charles I both sought to strengthen royal authority, which led to significant tensions with Parliament. James I believed in the divine right of kings and often bypassed Parliament for funding and governance, leading to friction over his expenditures and policies. Charles I further escalated this conflict by attempting to govern without Parliament for eleven years (1629-1640) and imposing unpopular taxes, ultimately leading to the English Civil War. Their disregard for parliamentary power contributed to a long-standing conflict between monarchy and parliamentary governance in England.
