Answer 1

Answer:  e) whether Puritans should separate from the Church of England.

Explanation:

The English Civil War (1642–51), began under the rule of Charles I (1625–49). Charles's desire to rule without the Parliament, as well as some financial changes and his support for high-church religious practices, worried some people. Particularly, puritans feared that Charles wanted to restore England to the Catholic fold. Religion became a key element in this confrontation, because puritans supported the Parliament, while conservative protestants and some Catholics supported the King.
