Were the gunpowder plotters framed and why?
Some believe that the Catholics were framed by the King in the gunpowder plot because: - Guy Fawkes managed to get the 36 barrels of gunpowder very easily even though all gunpowder was kept in the Tower of London and controlled by the Government. No one even noticed they were missing! -The cellar was rented to the plotters by John Whynniard, a king's official and a friend of Cecil (who worked for the King and hated Catholics). -Lord Mounteagle, had a friend amongst the Catholics, and was delivered an anonymous letter by a disguised messenger on 26th October. The letter said the houses of Parliament would receive a 'big blow'. -Mounteagle showed the letter to the King the next day, who somehow immediately knew that it meant a gunpowder explosion. But strangely enough he took no action until the 4th November. -The King somehow knew where all the plotters were and surrounded them at Holbeach House- they did not resist arrest, some were shot dead. -The signature of Guy Fawkes when he signed the confession was different to his normal signature. This could of been because he'd been tortured or it was an imposter impersonating the signature- but you would have thought an imposter would know what the signature looked like. -An Italian visitor in 1605 said: 'Some hold it as certain that there has been foul play and that some of the government secretly spun a web to entangle these poor gentleman'. -John Whynniard died mysteriously on the 5th of November, The day of the meeting. -It also happened that the final result was exactly what the King (James I) and Cecil wanted!
Why did the gunpowder plotters want to kill King James?
The short answer is that there was no "Catholic" plot to kill King James 1. It is no more correct to say this than it is to say that "Episcopals assassinated President Lincoln" (John Wilkes Booth was Episcopalian) The longer answer is that the assassination plot was due to (real or imagined) persecution. On November 5, 1605, a small group of fanatic Catholics in England led by Guy Fawkes planned to blow up the House of Parliament, killing the assembled leadership and assassinating King James I. When it had become clear that King James was not to grant Catholics any relief from the persecution of his predecessor, Queen Elizabeth I.

It is personally an opinion but they were framed because the government look after gunpowder and they allowed that the 'plotters' managed to get 36 barrels; also, no action was taken until a week or so later.

What was the gunpowerd plot?
I presume you mean the Gunpowder plot. It was a plot in 1605 to blow up James the First of England by planting a bomb under the House of Lords for the state opening of parliament. The 17th century was a time of religious conflict in Britain between Catholics and Protestants. James the First was a Protestant king and Catholic plotters thought it would be a good idea to kill him and replace him with a Catholic monarch (James's 9 year old daughter, Elizabeth). The plot failed because one of the plotters sent a warning to a Catholic Baron (William Parker) who passed it on to the authorities. Guy Fawkes (by far the most remembered, but actually a fairly small player in the scheme) was captured guarding 36 barrels of gunpowder in the cellars of the Palace of Westminster. The other plotters were captured a few weeks later after a battle. All the surviving plotters were executed. To this day in Britain, there is a bonfire night on November 5th - the date of the planned explosion where effigies of Guy Fawkes (the Guy) are burnt and fireworks let off.
Who was the king at the time of gunpowder plot?
James the 1st .
What did the men in the gunpowder plot plan to do and why?
The Catholic men of the gunpowder plot planned to blow up Parliament. After they had blown it up they planned to make King James I daughter queen as she was Catholic. They wanted to do this because they thought that England should be Catholic instead of Protestant. Hope this helped! :)
How did cecil help the gunpowder plot?
Some people believe that Cecil wanted the plotters to be caught in the act of blowing up parliament. An anonymous letter was sent to Lord Monteagle (a Catholic) warning him to skip Parliament. This letter was kept for a week until Robert Cecil showed it to James I and they searched the cellars. A fortnight before Guy Fawkes was discovered, Cecil wrote to James I's servant saying this: “I spend my time in sowing so much seed as my poor wretched fingers can scatter, in such a season as may bring forth a plentiful harvest. I dare boldly say no shower or storm shall mar our harvest except it should come from beyond the middle region.” The plotters were from the Midlands ( middle regions).
