Detailed explanation-1: -Magna Carta, or “Great Charter, ” signed by the King of England in 1215, was a turning point in human rights. The Magna Carta, or “Great Charter, ” was arguably the most significant early influence on the extensive historical process that led to the rule of constitutional law today in the English-speaking world.
Detailed explanation-2: -Created by Edward I (r. 1272–1307), the Parliament consisted of representatives of the clergy, of the aristocracy, and even of the commoners from the counties (shires) and towns. The intention was to use the parliament in order to impose taxes upon the citizens to fund the military for future wars.
Detailed explanation-3: -Throughout the country, Edward’s government ordered images to be removed from churches. Protestants regarded images, such as pictures of saints, as superstitious. In 1549, Parliament ruled that priests could get married (in the Catholic Church they are not been allowed to).
Detailed explanation-4: -King Edward I, son of Henry, called his first Parliament in 1275. In addition to summoning the Lords, he ordered the election of two knights from each shire and two burgesses from each city and town. Edward wanted their consent for new taxes to fund his military campaigns.
Detailed explanation-5: -Parliament evolved from the great council of bishops and peers that advised the English monarch. Great councils were first called Parliaments during the reign of Henry III ( r. 1216–1272).
