James I and Charles I quarreled with Parliament primarily over issues of authority and governance. Both monarchs believed in the divine right of kings, which led them to resist parliamentary control over taxation and legislation. Their attempts to rule without Parliament and impose unpopular policies, such as taxes and religious changes, fueled tensions and ultimately contributed to the English Civil War. Additionally, conflicts over issues like religion and the extent of royal power further exacerbated their disputes with Parliament.
