Question

question 7 (multiple choice worth 5 points) (05.02 mc) which phrase best describes the causes of the development of constitutional monarchy in england? - parliament progressively taking more powers for itself without opposition - conflicts between the monarchy and parliament over their relative power - persistent english belief in a divinely inspired and all - powerful monarch - charles is commitment to place limits on the power of the monarchy

Explanation:

• For the first option: Parliament taking power without opposition is incorrect. There were conflicts (e.g., Civil War) during the development of constitutional monarchy.
• For the second option: The development of constitutional monarchy in England was driven by conflicts between the monarchy (e.g., Stuart monarchs) and Parliament over power, like the struggle leading to the Glorious Revolution and the establishment of a system where Parliament had more defined power relative to the monarchy.
• For the third option: A belief in an all - powerful monarch would work against the development of constitutional monarchy, as constitutional monarchy limits monarchical power.
• For the fourth option: Charles I was opposed to limiting monarchical power; his actions led to conflict with Parliament, not a commitment to limit the monarchy.

Answer:

B. Conflicts between the monarchy and Parliament over their relative power
