Social Division/Inequity
Religious Troubles
In the Parliament, people did not like or trust Charles l. They said that he was being too lenient towards Catholics. He allowed Archbishop Laud to make religious practices that offended Puritans very much. If someone criticized or complained, they would be punished for seditious libel.
Dissatisfaction with the Government
The problem with the king
James I would always try to avoid seeing the parliament directly. Charles led England into very expensive wars in Europe, one of them was the thirty years war. Charles thought that he could use the court of star chamber to put people on trial and in prison. Magna Carta always tried to stop what Charles was doing so the parliament had to respond.
Economic Instability
Controlling the money
Monarchs were allowed get rents from the estates and which they would sell to import goods that were valuable but he could not make taxes. Since this happened, there has been an increase in the parliament's power which Charles did not like. Charles then started raising money (forced loans, ship money and fines). Soon later, Strafford was called "The Black Tom Tyrant". Strafford's methods are known as the "Strafford's Fork" which meant "feeding off the country".
