Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
The English Civil War was primarily fought over the question of sovereignty between Parliament and the king. King Charles I believed in the divine right of kings, meaning that he had absolute authority and was accountable only to God. Parliament, however, believed in parliamentary sovereignty, meaning that they believed they should have the power to make and enforce laws. This disagreement over the balance of power between the king and Parliament ultimately led to the English Civil War.
