There was a mixture of reasons but religion played a huge part in it. Parliament (Roundheads) was more for Protestants and they were basically fed up with the king. King Charles didn't really care, he acted like a catholic and even had a catholic wife. So in short it was all to do with religion.

∙ 6y agoWithout a specific king being named, I assume it was the British King Charles I? In which case, Charles I felt he ruled by the divine right of God and could do no wrong. Parliament and the people felt otherwise. Charles called and tried to use Parliament at his whim, especially when he needed money, even to disbanding Parliament whenever it suited him. The English Civil War broke out and eventually Charles and his followers lost - and Charles lost his head, literally! Though there were to be a few hiccups along the way, Britain is now ruled by Parliament, voted democratically into power by the people, and our current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, is but a figurehead, but is still very well respected and revered as the Head of State. But, Parliament and the people have the final say.

What were the issues that led to the English Civil War?
King Charles considered himself a Divine Right Monarch, that his power came from God. He refused to work with Parliament to rule England fairly and justly. He tried to reintroduce Catholicism in England, even though it was against English law. Oliver Cromwell, a Parliamentarian, took exception to these acts and convinced Parliament to declare Charles I a traitor and remove him as king. The army of Parliament, the Roundheads lost to the army of the King, the Cavaliers. Cromwell recruited and trained his own army, the New Model Army and defeated the Cavaliers. As a result, King Charles I was decapitated and Cromwell became Lord Protector of England, ruling as a dictator for several years.
Why was the emergence of Parliament important?
Parliament's emergence became a check upon the power of the King of England. As Parliament's stature grew more and more powerful, the King's powers diminished. The King was no longer completely above the law as he had been before there was a Parliament. Although the common person did not have rights of voting for members of Parliament at first, the emergence of Parliament showed that the people the King governed had a say in how he governed. This also introduced the concept that governmental powers should be separated; that no one person or group should have total control over all the powers that a government has.

What happens when the glorious revolution takes place?
King James II of England had lost the confidence of his people because he (a Roman Catholic himself) had tried to formally re-establish the Catholic Church in England and restore full political rights to his Catholic subjects. This was met with much resistence, because the Catholics in England had (mostly unjustly) become widely distrusted in English society. When King James tried to force the issue by dismissing judges, bishops and members of Parliament opposed to his plans and by filling the higher army ranks with Catholics, the political leaders of England invited his son in law, Dutch - and Protestant - prince William of Orange, to come over with an army and together with his wife, king James' daughter Mary, take over from king James. He did, in 1688, and quickly ousted king James. This revolution has ever since been called "glorious" because king William - coming from The Dutch republic where Parliament traditionally was the highest power in the State - had no problem with granting important new powers to the British Parliament and diminishing te powers of the King. Among those new powers were the power of budget and taxation, and the ultimate right of Parliament to convene regularly and not only when called by the king. Also, the King could no longer dispense with or ignore laws passed by Parliament.
