How did the English nobles change the power of the monarch?
The English nobles significantly altered the power of the monarch through their resistance to royal authority, culminating in events such as the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215. This document established key principles, such as the rule of law and the idea that the king was not above the law, thereby limiting his absolute power. Over time, the nobles' influence led to the development of a parliamentary system, where their interests were represented, further curtailing the monarch's authority. Consequently, the balance of power shifted towards a more constitutional monarchy, where the king's powers were increasingly checked by noble and parliamentary rights.
