Question

What best describes the issues that led to the English Civil War and Restoration? Two kings claimed the throne and the English people chose sides. When one side won the war, the other side agreed to the terms the new monarch set. The king ignored Parliament and tried to arrest some of its members, sparking a revolt. England's new leader ruled as a dictator, so the English people chose to return to a monarchy. The king was overthrown because he claimed to rule by divine right and wanted to be worshipped as a god. Later, the English people elected a new king who did not claim divine right. Parliament levied unfair taxes on the English and they revolted. Later, they realized the taxes were needed and restored the king to power.
