the monarchs continued to challenge parliaments authority.
the monarchs generally deferred to parliament when there was a disagreement.

Explanation:

After the English Civil War, the Restoration monarchs Charles II and James II sought to reassert royal authority. Charles II often clashed with Parliament over religious policies and funding, while James II openly tried to expand royal power and bypass Parliament's restrictions, leading to the Glorious Revolution. This shows they continued to challenge Parliament's authority rather than respecting limits, deferring, or successfully seizing major power at Parliament's expense.

Answer:

The monarchs continued to challenge Parliament's authority.
