It is reputed to have developed from Magna Carta in 1215 CE, however this was essentially an enforced power-sharing by the barons with the king who had been running a feudal system with the barons holding their estates at the king's pleasure.
It really had its roots in the Black Death in the 14th Century CE, which killed of so many serfs that labour had to become free, and so England was based on free farmers, tradesmen and workers. The lower classes progressively and gradually extracted political rights, against a reluctant monarch and aristocracy, over the next 500 years, to become a proper democracy.
