Question

What was the main reason for the English Civil War of 1642?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The Parliamentarians demanded that some of the king’s power be transferred to them, which angered the Royalists.

Explanation:

The English Civil War of 1642 was fought between two main groups. On the one hand, the supporters of the monarchy of Charles I, and on the other hand, Parliamentarians who wanted the Parliament to have more power. The beginning of the war is traditionally considered to be the raising of an army by Charles I against the wishes of the Parliament. The war finally ended when Charles II left for France.

Answer 2

Ultimately the war was a struggle over how much power the parliament should have over the monarchy— so I’m thinking A? Sorry if I’m wrong.
