Question

Identify an action by King Charles I that led to the English Civil War

Answer 1

taxation without parliaments approval

Answer 2

The correct answer is B: Taxation without parliament's approval.

King Charles I decided to support Christian IV of Denmark and Frederick V during the Thirty Years’ War. However, the Parliament refused to finance the war. Because of this, Charles I dissolved Parliament. By 1627, with England still at war, Charles decided to raise “forced loans,” or taxes not authorized by Parliament.
