The main reason is that the Vasa dynasty granted a lot of privileges to the nobility of the Commonwealth, and later, the only way one could become a king was by signing a document which expanded the powers of the Sejm (Parliament). By the middle of 17th century the Sejm was much more powerful than the King which soon led to anarchy.
