Answer:

They wanted to protect the rights that had been won with the Magna Carta

Step-by-step explanation:

The members of the parliament opposed James 1 because they wanted to protect the rights that had been won with the Magna Carta. The Magna carter was a charter of rights that was signed by King John in Runnymede

The Magna Carta was one of the most important documents in history because it subjected both the people and the king to be under the rule of the land i.e both the subjects and the king in a kingdom is not above the law of the land and most act according to the laws of the land. when James tried to avert it the members of the parliament opposed James .
