How did democracy start in England?

Answer 1

In 1295 King Edward I ('Longshanks') called the first official parliament. All peers - that is lords, including the bishops and some abbots - were invited individually, by name; and every city and county was asked to choose (elect) two members to represent it in parliament. An unofficial parliament had been called by the rebel baron Simon de Montfort already in 1265, and some people prefer to see that as the start of democracy in England. The purpose of calling the parliament of 1295 was to avoid undue dependence on a narrow clique of aristocrats. It seems to me that the interesting thing about democracy in England wasn't that it started early, but that it managed to change its function in the period from about 1615-1690, which was the time when in other European countries the absolute monarchies ('divine right of kings') were stripping parliaments of their powers.
