    The Magna Carta is a document that King John of England (1166 - 1216) was forced into signing. King John was forced into signing the charter because it greatly reduced the power he held as the King of England and allowed for the formation of a powerful parliament. The Magna Carta became the basis for English citizen's rights. The purpose of the Magna Carta was to curb the King and make him govern by the old English laws that had prevailed before the Normans came. The Magna Carta was a collection of 37 English laws - some copied, some recollected some old and some new. The Magna Carta demonstrated that the power of the king could be limited by a written grant.…

    It is apparent that all was not well in England in the years building up to the Magna Carta in 1215. The barons of the day, not royalty, but the upper crust of society, forced King John to sign the document because it greatly reduced the power he held as the King of England and allowed for the formation of a powerful parliament. In return, the barons took an oath of loyalty to King John under the agreement that all abide by it. The Magna Carta became the basis for English citizen's rights and it is evidence that the people of England faced many political, social, economic, and ethnic tensions with King John and his empire.…

    The first area, and the area that affected the monarchs decisions in other areas the most, was religion. While Philip II and Louis XIV were both catholic, Queen Elizabeth was protestant, and were Philip II and Louis XIV were both very strict in enforcing a state religion Queen Elizabeth was much more lax. Because of their religious policy both Philip II’s and Louis XIV’s economy was irrevocably influenced. Philip II lack of religious tolerance combined with constant suspicion of the Marranos and the Moriscos both had immense effects on his economy. The constant support of the inquisitions tactics and suspicion caused the Moriscos to revolt. The Moriscos were defeated and expelled from the country. The animosity towards the Protestants caused a revolt by the Dutch and a humiliating defeat dealt to the Spanish Armada by the English Navy. The defeat of the Armada marked the decline of Spain’s naval power while the Dutch revolt marked the start of both English and Dutch “Sea Dogs” reign of terror on Spanish ships. Louis XIV was also apposed to Protestants and this also had devastating affects on his country. In sixteen-eighty-five the Edict of Nantes was repealed.

    The Magna Carta set limits on the power of the King, but did not disrupt the balance of power between the beholder of the high positions in Britian. The English monarchs enjoyed almost full power through the 18th century; Henry VII and Elizabeth are examples. They answered to Parliament sometimes, but mostly the Parliament answered to them since they held more power. It wasn't until the 19th century that the things began to change and form a new leadership that we later changed into what we have today. One example I would like to refer to is the reign of Elizabeth II. Her reign has been considered an un-necessary reign in England’s history. Although Royal Prerogatives still exist in Britain, many doubt that they will be employed.…

    The idea of a single person holding dominion over all others to form an independent state is the driving force in state consolidation in 17th century Europe. Political development in this concept led to different methods of operating a government two prominent models being absolutism and constitutionalism. The first one centers on a strong centralized monarchy and the dominating royal power and the latter is based on a limited monarchy where the ruler is confined to the law and parliament. Theoretically, England planned to follow the constitutional model but the Stuart monarchs thought otherwise of this and conflicted with the Parliament throughout the century. This conflict centers on the evolution of England to becoming a world power.…
