James I of England struggled with Parliament because he believed in the divine right of kings, which held that monarchs were chosen by God and accountable only to Him. This belief often put him at odds with Parliament, especially when it came to issues of taxation and governance. His attempts to assert royal authority led to tensions, as he sought to diminish parliamentary power while Parliament aimed to increase its own influence and control over state matters. This conflict laid the groundwork for future political struggles in England.
