Answer He believed in the Devine right of kings.

Step-by-step explanation:

King James I believed that kings were put on their thrones to be gods representatives on earth, as a result, James thought he should be able to do what ever he wanted, without parliament holding him back.

Devine right-

the right of a sovereign to rule as set forth by the theory of government that holds that a monarch receives the right to rule directly from God and not from the people.

I hope this is helpful

In general, James I fought quite a bit with Parliament over financial issues. Money was tight, especially because of the wars oversees. Parliament wanted the money to go elsewhere.
