Political Changes

King Edward of England chose to include more people in government. He created the government body known as Model Parliament.

Model Parliament included commoners, lower ranking clergy, and nobles. It allowed for many different opinion from different social classes to be heard.

King Henry II changed the legal system in England by requiring that people receive a trail by royal judges and juries. Before this innocence was determined by trail by ordeal or trail by combat.

This change in the system gave commoners more rights. This also resulted in less innocents being jailed.

The Magna Carta was a contract signed by king John of England because he was abusing his power. It was the first step in providing more rights to the people of England.

The Magna Carta introduced the idea that no person was above the law, not even the king. It also introduced the idea of Hadeas Corpus which said that no person could be jailed without being charged with a crime.
