Stuart Dynasty would be the monarch James I, Charles I, Charles II, James II, Queen Mary, King William, and Queen Anne (the official close of the Stuart Dynasty did not come until the death of Anne and beginning of the Hanoverian Dynasty). I'm taking the question is directed towards the 4 monarchs before "The Glorious Revolution and the English Bill of Rights."
James I had the difficult endeavor of following Elizabeth I to the throne. Raised by Protestant Scottish nobles, James was brought up in more of a sheltered Scottish setting than a typical English noble setting. This led to a lack of understanding of English law. Further, James did not understand the role of Parliament and the fact that there was more of a balance of power in England, rather than divine right monarchy found in Scotland, where he also held the crown.
Charles I also had the difficulty with sharing power with Parliament, so he decided not to call it, in a period of time called the Personal Rule. Charles then tried to call Parliament for levying of taxes over frivolous warfare versus Spain. Parliament decided to use this "Long Parliament" to call for demands, particularly under the leadership under the Puritan John Pym. The fight against Parliament ended up in a split in English life, resulting in the English Civil War and Charles's death.
Charles II had the unenviable position of trying to clean up England's image established under Oliver Cromwell, but tarnished by his inept son Richard. He was not a bad ruler, but his hope for fighting wars and gaining more land put a strap on the financial situation. The most troubling situation during the reign of Charles II was the Exclusion Crisis, which was brought up by Parliament because the heir to the throne, James II of England (VII of Scotland), the brother of Charles II who had no legitimate children, was a Catholic.
James II was Catholic and immediately had problems with Protestant rebellions led by Monmouth and the Argyll Rebellion in Scotland. Further, the court case of Godden v. Hales separated Parliament and the king, as it was ruled that the king (law-abiding king from the time of Henry VIII) could dispense of previously created laws.
