Solution

The correct option is A Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
James I was the first king of England from the Stuart dynasty. He ruled from 1603 to 1625. England was a constitutional monarchy during his term as the king. Thus, he had to get approval of the Parliament to impose any taxes or approve any laws. However, he was a strong advocate of absolutist institutions. His conflicts with an increasingly self-assertive Parliament set the stage for the rebellion against his successor, Charles I.
