Answer: Unlike other states, the king was not the only political authority in the country.
Explanation:
Apart from the king, English had a deep tradition embedded in Parliament. The English Parliament played an essential role in the political life of Britain. It was precisely the arbitrariness of the king that restricted Parliament.
The moment when the king insisted on "the will of God" (which led many absolutist rulers in Europe to "justify" all authority), a war broke out in English. In that war, King Charles I was defeated. He was declared a traitor to his people and executed. As a result, Parliament continued to limit the king's authority and arbitrariness in the future.
