/kloc-By the middle of the 0/7th century, Britain had become a maritime power with vast colonies. With the expansion of the market, wealth has also increased, and domestic workshops and handicrafts have also developed greatly. The development of capitalist economy has greatly strengthened the influence of the bourgeoisie and new noble. At that time, Britain's feudal economic base had collapsed, but the upper class that protected it was unwilling to voluntarily withdraw from the historical stage, which became the biggest obstacle to the further development of capitalism. It is also one of the fundamental reasons for the British bourgeois revolution.

1603, Scottish king james stuart succeeded to the British throne and began the rule of Stuart dynasty. As soon as James I came to power, he advocated that "the monarch is endowed by God", claiming that the king is the highest authority sent by God to the world and has unlimited power. He completely ignored parliament and dissolved parliament three times; He doesn't care about British maritime trade and doesn't attach importance to naval construction. These policies have greatly hindered the development of British capitalism and aroused strong dissatisfaction from the bourgeoisie and new noble. After Charles I succeeded to the throne, he plundered money and still acted arbitrarily. Because the parliament did not agree with him to collect taxes at will, he dissolved the parliament many times, resulting in a situation of no parliamentary rule for many years. In Britain at this time, on the one hand, the royal life was extremely corrupt and extravagant, and the country was in chaos; On the other hand, the king levied all kinds of exorbitant taxes and levies, which squeezed the working people and made a large number of workers unemployed. The peasants who opposed oppression demanded the abolition of land rent and the acquisition of land, and the revolutionary movement gradually flourished and intensified. Urban civilians and unemployed craftsmen often riot because of their lives, and the autocratic rule of Charles I quickly intensified various contradictions in British society.
