Answer 1

Answer:

2. Charles I ruled without Parliament for 11 years (1629-1640): The 3rd Parliament was very concern about the rights granted in the Petition of Right and the fact that Charles I did not obey it. So the King decide to dissolve the Parliament and arrest 9 political leaders.
3. Charles I convened Parliament to raise taxes to crush a revolt in Scotland (1640): It was known as Short Parliament because it lasted only three weeks. It was the first attempt of Charles I after the dissolution in 1629 to create a Parliament and stop to rule personally. The primary objective of the creation was to raise funds for the struggle with Scotland.
4. Supporters of Charles I, the Royalists, engaged in a civil war with the Roundheads, supporters of Parliament (1642): It lasted 9 years and was divided into three different wars, the first, second, and third. It was fought principally because of the management of the English government.
5. The Roundheads defeated the Royalists and England became a commonwealth. (1649): From that year and until 1660 the United Kingdom was governed as a republic.
