Summarize the increasing power of parliament in England from the magna carta to the glorious revolution?

Answer 1

The Magna Carta of 1215 marked the beginning of the shift in power from the monarchy to the English Parliament, as it established the principle that the king was subject to the law. Over the centuries, Parliament gained more authority, particularly after the English Civil War (1642-1651), which pitted Parliament against King Charles I, culminating in the execution of the king. The Glorious Revolution of 1688 further solidified this shift by establishing constitutional monarchy, where William and Mary accepted the Bill of Rights, limiting royal power and affirming Parliament's authority. This transition set the stage for the development of a parliamentary democracy in England.
