Dunno, James I for all his faults did understand that his “divine right” had to be tempered by what was politically possible. It’s Charles I that would worry me 😀
Indeed, James recognised that he was obliged to rule according to law. It was the fact that this wasn’t subject to, um, checks and balances that helped foment the subsequent conflicts. Interesting to see the US re-immersing itself in that particular set of constitutional nightmares.
