In Poland, the nobility, known as the szlachta, played a significant role in governance through a unique system of democracy called the "Golden Liberty," where they held considerable power in the Sejm (parliament) and enjoyed extensive privileges. In England, the nobility wielded power primarily through land ownership and influence in the monarchy, with the peerage serving as advisers and holding seats in the House of Lords, thus shaping legislation and policy. Both systems reflected the importance of the nobility in maintaining social order, but the mechanisms of their influence differed significantly.
