Parliament Limits the English Monarchy
“Hate it or love it the underdog's on topAnd I'm gonna shine homie until my
heart stop”- King James I

To free themselves from any restrictions that nobility or parliament would place on them.
Why do you think the Monarch clashes with Parliament in England???

Elizabeth had no children… James Stuart – Cousin, King of Scotland. 1603 – King James I of England

Monarchs clash with Parliament
King James I
Inherited Issues: - How much power does parliament have in
governing?
James believed he had absolute authority and was not able to flatter parliament like Elizabeth.
James’s Problem
Parliament: - Reluctant to pay for his royal court and
foreign wars - James offended the Puritans of the
Parliament James= Calvinist Puritans = expected James to make reforms to
the church. James = hated to be told what to do, did
nothing except translate a bible.
James’s Problem
1625 – James I died Son – Charles I took the throne Always in need of money… Why??? War with Spain and France When Parliament refused to give money he
dissolved it.
Charles I fights Parliament
King Charles I
1628 – Charles called Parliament for more
money. They refused to sign it until he signed the
Petition of Right.

Four points: Not imprison subjects without due cause. Not levy taxes without Parliament’s consent. Not house soldiers in private homes. Not impose martial law in peacetime.
See any similarities in our constitution?
