Question

after charles i became king, tensions increased when he
○ freed all prisoners from jail throughout the country.
○ formed an alliance with england’s traditional enemies, france and spain.
○ asked parliament to take over the role of taxation.
○ dissolved parliament when members refused to give him funds.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Freeing all prisoners is not related to tensions under Charles I's rule.
• Alliance with France and Spain: Charles I had conflicts with them, not alliances.
• Asking Parliament for taxation role: He wanted to tax without Parliament's approval, not give them the role.
• Dissolving Parliament when refused funds: Charles I needed funds, Parliament refused, so he dissolved it, increasing tensions leading to conflict.

Answer:

D. dissolved Parliament when members refused to give him funds.
