Answer:

Dissolved Parliament when members refused to give him funds.

Explanation:

Charles I became heir to the throne when his brother Henry Frederick died. After his succession, Charles began a power struggle against the English parliament, attempting to obtain funds while parliament tried to restrict its royal prerogative. He believed in the divine right of kings and thought he could govern according to his conscience. Many of his subjects were against his policies, particularly his interferences in the English and Scottish churches and the increase of taxes without the parliamentary consent, seeing his actions like of an absolute monarch tyrant.
