Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In 1640, the English Parliament was called because King Charles I needed funds to suppress a rebellion in Scotland. However, tensions had been rising between the King and Parliament for years over issues of taxation and control. When Parliament met, they demanded that the King give up his power to dissolve Parliament and attempted to impeach one of his advisors. In response, Charles I dissolved Parliament after less than two months, leading to a constitutional crisis as it was an unprecedented move. This crisis led to the outbreak of the English Civil War in 1642.
