around 1633 King Charles I started ship money because he had got rid of Parliament and he was running out of money so he decided to use a tax that only occurred in the time of war and at that time Britain was not involved in war so because of his Divine Right he thought he might might as well use ship money to get more money

King Charles asked asked parliament for money but they said only if you give us more power. He refused and dissolved them (disband them) and ruled on his own for 11 yrs. The ship tax was used to build boats in the army so people were annoyed when he said it was just general now.
