Why did they have a English Civil War?
Because people wanted to have a say in the government. There was a serious conflict between the King (James I and later Charles I) and the English Parliament. There were religious differences too. Many members of Parliament were Puritans, who wanted to purify the Anglican Church, but the kings were Catholics. Both kings tried to rule without Parliament. The only thing that they couldn't do without Parliament was to levy taxes. Charles I summoned Parliament in 1640, but shortly after dissolved it, and ruled alone. Fighting broke out in 1642 against the absolutistic royal government. The two sides were: the Roundheads (supporters of P) with the leadership of Oliver Cromwell, the other side was the Cavaliers (the Royalists, supporters of the King). Finally Parliament won and Charles I was executed.

One year later, the Second Protectorate Parliament was installed, which off an on remained in place until Cromwell's death in 1658.
