Answer 1

James repeatedly clashed with parliment over money and foreign policy. He needed funds to finance his lavish court and wage wars. When members wanted to discuss foreign policy before voting funds, james disolved parliament and collected taxes on his own.

Answer 2

It was James I/VI who ascended the throne in 1603. There were several plots in the early years of his reign by various factions, culminating in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Plot
