James I and Charles I quarreled with Parliament primarily over issues of authority and governance. Both monarchs believed in the divine right of kings, which led them to resist parliamentary control over taxation and legislation. Their attempts to rule without Parliament and impose unpopular policies, such as taxes and religious changes, fueled tensions and ultimately contributed to the English Civil War. Additionally, conflicts over issues like religion and the extent of royal power further exacerbated their disputes with Parliament.
When James I took the throne in 1603 CE, he established and absolute monarchy. This meant that he had complete control and Parliament had to defer to him. This style of rule was continued by his son Charles I. Charles I's refusal to call Parliament into session and his increase in royal taxes led to his execution in 1649. After his death Oliver Cromwell became the Lord Protector of England, but Parliament had control over social, religious and legal issues. After his death in 1658, Parliament invited Charles II to return to England on the condition that Parliament remain in control he Charles allow Protestantism to be the main religion in England. After Charles death James II took the throne, he had two Protestant daughters but remarried a Catholic and had a Catholic son. In 1688, parliament invited his oldest daughter Mary and her husband William to overthrow James. This revolution was called the Glorious Revolution, a Bill of Rights was written and Parliament remained powerful and free from royal influence.
James I and Charles I both sought to strengthen royal authority, which led to significant tensions with Parliament. James I believed in the divine right of kings and often bypassed Parliament for funding and governance, leading to friction over his expenditures and policies. Charles I further escalated this conflict by attempting to govern without Parliament for eleven years (1629-1640) and imposing unpopular taxes, ultimately leading to the English Civil War. Their disregard for parliamentary power contributed to a long-standing conflict between monarchy and parliamentary governance in England.
Charles wanted to raise taxes but parliament didn't and then he dissolved parliament for 11 years.
Charles rarely opened Parliament, and they were angry with him for supporting Louis IX claim to the French throne. When Charles did open parliament he asked for money.
Charles I did not want to work with a Parliament, because the Parliament has the final say with matters such as laws. Charles I could propose a new law, but the Parliament can either accept it, or reject it.Charles didn't want a Parliament because he pretty much wanted absolute power. He wanted to make decisions on his own.The English Civil War, which Charles I lost, was Charles vs Parliament (led by Oliver Cromwell). Charles tried raising extra taxes without discussing it with the Parliament. Also, he married a Catholic princess, who influenced his decisions. Many were afraid that Charles would make the Church of England more Catholic. (He's Protestant.)All these problems led to the war, and eventually Charles lost, went into trial, and got beheaded.
At the start of his reign, he received a tolerably good welcome from Parliament. James seemed to offer Parliament a fresh start after the unpredictable behaviour of Elizabeth in her last few years as monarch. However, because of his extravagant spending habits and nonchalant ignoring of the nobility's grievances, James was to quarrel with Parliament over a number of issues and this positive early relationship soon faltered. The major issues that caused James and Parliament to fall out were royal finances, royal legislation and taxes, and the belief by James that he could never be wrong.

Monarchy's status declining. King James and Parliament clashed because Parliament had one advantage, more money than James. James re-called Parliament to discuss his son's marriage to princess of Spain, and Spain wasn't seen as a friendly country at the time. The English Civil War occurred because Charles II disbanded Parliament.
