Why didn't England have absolutism?
Absolutism was only possible in Europe after the sovereigns were able to overcome the local vested power of nobles, through the use of national armies without local agglomeration. However, during the feudal period, English nobles (barons) forced the monarchy to guarantee their legal position with the Magna Carta. As a result, when the English monarchy would finally be militarily capable of asserting absolutism, it was effectively prevented from doing so because of the barons' power in Parliament. Conversely, French, Spanish, Prussian, Austrian, and Russian nobles did not have these protections and lost power as monarchs became more capable of consolidating their power under absolutism.
