C faced the problem of multiple kingdoms with multiple identities
his attempt to inforce unity their fore went badly
They were also interlinked-scottish rebellion causing both strentherning of english parliment as well as causing the irish reblion ect
However overall it was c that caused the issues with it. Although it caused the strengtherning of both parlimentary radicals and the king MK was simply a billiard effect.
Parliment benifted cas it allowed for them to talk to the scot covernants and allowed for army plot to cause issues. IR also allowed Pym ect to mainipulate
Cahrles benifited as it caused constitutional royalim as a result of the GR and allowed for jhim to become increasing the defendent of fundermental laws'. It defended against the radicals and the possiblity of civil war
People were woried as a result of the power parlimet wanted such as the 19 propersitions.
Without CR charles wopuld ahve been able to fight the war and so it actually caused the civi l war in away

Charles
Soemtyihng universally agreed by historians is that C was not a helful king and was a key factor.
It was his strengths and weakness which caused the alienation of polliticans
He was hampered from the start the secound nson of James he was the opposite to his dad but their was no other candidates
Henry was a hard act to follow and cxharls was v inferir. His personality was the opposite to what was needed. He was narrow minded and inflexible annd didnt like critisim or obstacle
This was clearly seen with his arres of the Five birds. Which allowed for parliment to gain power especially tjhemilitia ordinance.
War wasnt wanted and moderates were trying to stop[ it but radicals felt they had to protect their cause and this caused the divioson of the country thier was no middle ground

Relgion
Rel is created opposition as C was determined to enforce arminiamism laud
The scot rebellion or the imposiion if it wasnt for C. He was a main reason
But religion acted as a divider between parl and charles
It was a clear souce of division in the root and branch petition
Religioun pushed people towards monarch in order to maintain power such as hyde as rffuiens were paid to destro laudist iconography.
Radicalism of pym was also worying and parliment acted on their own authority
Charles took the stance of consititutional as he saw the opp against radicals and exploited it. He had 'disregarded' laudism and was appointing moderate calvanists.He appeared less of a threat than Pym ect
Although some moved towards royalism it was religious radicalism that meant people still supported parliment,
