Question

How did the stuarts deal with parliament

Answer 1

The Stuarts (King James I and his son King Charles I) were absolutists who believed that a monarch has a divine right to their authority and is responsible only to God (not Parliament or the people). This view proved to be problematic because it directly countered long standing English traditions and angered Parliament in a major way. As a result, James spent the majority of his rule fighting Parliament over government spending (which Parliament controlled), and Charles just straight up refused to summon Parliament from 1629 onward. (He was forced to call them in 1640 due to his fears of a Scottish invasion, resulting in the "Long Parliament," the Triennial Act, and eventually the English Civil War where he got beheaded but the question is most likely referring to the stuff before that.)
