King Charles I believed that God was the ultimate source of his power and that therefore nobody should limit his power; this is a doctrine called the divine right of kings. However, Parliament believed that they and the king should do the will of the people.
The English Bill of Rights came about after Parliament overthrew King James II during the Glorious Revolution. The Bill was created to limit the amount of power given to the monarchy.
The reason was mainly because the King had most of the power in that time. Unlike today, where Parliament would have most of the power with the king as the figurehead, Parliament was only an advisory body.
In 1628 Parliament decided that the king should not have all the power. They made it so that The king would have to go to the Parliament and get their permission before taxing. This gave Parliament a shared power with the king after about 1640, which was after Charles I had decided to make it impossible for Parliament to meet therefore giving him all the power between 1629 to 1640.
