The actions of James I and Charles I significantly contributed to the English Civil War by pushing the boundaries of royal authority and disregarding parliamentary power. James I's belief in the divine right of kings led to tensions with Parliament, while Charles I's attempts to govern without it and impose unpopular taxes alienated many subjects. Additionally, Charles’s dismissal of Parliament and his imposition of religious policies sparked widespread discontent, particularly among Puritans and other groups. These escalating conflicts ultimately culminated in the outbreak of the Civil War in 1642.
