Detailed explanation-1: -Magna Carta, or “Great Charter, ” signed by the King of England in 1215, was a turning point in human rights.
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: -Model Parliament The next time the burgesses were summoned along with the knights of the shire was in 1295. This was to become known as the Model Parliament, because its representation of two knights from each county and two burgesses from each town became normal for (almost) all future Parliaments.
Detailed explanation-4: -Model Parliament, parliament called by King Edward I of England in 1295 that is widely regarded as the first representative parliament.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Model Parliament created a precedent in which each “successor of a baron” (which includes Lords Spiritual) who received a writ to the parliament of 1295 “had a legal right to receive a writ". However, that strictly-hereditary right was not recognised formally until 1387.
