What were the immediate and long-range causes of the English Civil War of 1642-1649? What were the results?
After Elizabeth, James of Scotland became the king. He was not anything like the much loved Elizabeth. James expressed his belief of divine right of kings to the House of Commons which was a major mistake on his part. James was left with a large amount of royal debt from Elizabeth and the House of Commons, who did not like him, would not grant him anymore. Old manorial common land was enclosed an turned into sheep runs, these flocks greatly increased. Many invested in commercial ventures at home and also prudent marriages led to a greater social mobilization. The House of Commons tried to tax people to get economic strength which the king thought was a threat to his power and Charles I, James's son, tried to rule without the Parliament. People, also, thought that the Church of England needed to be more purified from the Catholic church. When the people wanted to stop having bishops in England, James said "no bishop, no king" because even though he was Calvinist he thought the bishops were supporters of his and seemed to be sympathetic to the Roman Catholic Church. Charles, in short, instigated military action on the Parliament. This war did not resolve the problem, however, Charles I was executed. And England became a military dictatorship.
