	Overall summary Firstly, King charles has not respected the rights of the English people. He has forced them to pay extra taxes,like ship money for a lot of the people living on the coasts.Secondly, he has caused many losses of lives as King Charles was the reason the Civil War started because he refused to listen to parliament. Charles didn't just cause loss of lives, he also violently abused Alice Thornton's daughter and stole everything from their house, causing them to starve for twenty seven days.
