Answer: the correct answer is c) approve new taxes and d) remove the king from his throne.

Explanation: the church os England was and is in charge of appointing bishops in England. The parliament removed the king for his throne in some ocassions. In 1399, after years of internal struggle for power between the monarchy and Parliament, the legislative body voted to depose King Richard II, enabling Henry IV to assume the throne. From 1603 to 1660, the country was mired in a drawn-out Civil War and, for a time, military leader Oliver Cromwell took over power under the title Lord Protector. The ruling monarch at the time, Charles I, was executed in 1649.
