James, I resisted working with Parliament as he believed in the absolute power of kings.

Further Explanations:

James, I was the King of England and also the first monarchs of England to rule England till his death. Being a well-educated person he encouraged people of England to take interest in things such as science, arts, and literature. In the case of political prospect, he often had conflicts with the Parliament due to his belief that King should be the Supreme authority. His powers were limited by the implementation of the Bill of rights that led to the establishment of the British Parliament and vested the authority to a committee of 23 representatives. He always believed that the king holds a significant role in Britain, so he always opposed the establishment of Parliament.

His views created a sense of hatred against him in the minds of citizens. A group of Catholics conspirators planned to attack him in a parliamentary ceremony. The plot was put to halt when one of the conspirators, Guy Fawkes was caught in the basement along with barrels of gunpowder.

The answer is option 4: He believed in the absolute power of kings.

The England King James I (who ruled from 1603 to1625) clashed with the Parliament's ideas several times for his persistent belief in the absolute power of kings, justified for their divine right, which enabled him to rule over all their subjects without interference from anyone. Instead, the Parliament believed that the King must not rule alone, doing all that he pleased.

They both had very different views on how royal finances had to be handled as well as foreign affairs, for example, the Parliament members held that tax collection was an issue that had to be approved by them in order to improve the crown's finances, which had been seriously weakened by the long war with Spain (1585-1604), as for James I, he wanted to collect the taxes on his own, whose purpose wasn't only to improve the government but also to over-spend on his luxury way of living.

“Gerrymandering is a threat to democracy in the United States”

stepladder [879]

Answer:

Gerrymandering (/ˈdʒɛrimændərɪŋ/,[1][2]) is a practice intended to establish an unfair political advantage for a particular party or group by manipulating district boundaries, which is most commonly used in first-past-the-post electoral systems.

Two principal tactics are used in gerrymandering: "cracking" (i.e. diluting the voting power of the opposing party's supporters across many districts) and "packing" (concentrating the opposing party's voting power in one district to reduce their voting power in other districts).[3] The top-left diagram in the graphic is a form of cracking where the majority party uses its superior numbers to guarantee the minority party never attains a majority in any district.

In addition to its use achieving desired electoral results for a particular party, gerrymandering may be used to help or hinder a particular demographic, such as a political, ethnic, racial, linguistic, religious, or class group, such as in Northern Ireland where boundaries were constructed to guarantee Protestant Unionist majorities.[4] The U.S. federal voting district boundaries that produce a majority of constituents representative of African-American or other racial minorities are known as "majority-minority districts". Gerrymandering can also be used to protect incumbents. Wayne Dawkings describes it as politicians picking their voters instead of voters picking their politicians.[5]

The term gerrymandering is named after Elbridge Gerry (pronounced like "Gary"[2]), who, as Governor of Massachusetts in 1812, signed a bill that created a partisan district in the Boston area that was compared to the shape of a mythological salamander. The term has negative connotations and gerrymandering is almost always considered a corruption of the democratic process
