The Rise of Parliament
The Rise of Parliament is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 5: Developing Democratic Ideas in Pengi Social Studies (Grade 7).
Key Concepts
The Magna Carta required the king to seek consent before raising taxes. Kings began calling councils of nobles and bishops. In 1295, King Edward I expanded this to include knights and town citizens, creating the Model Parliament .
Over time, this body split into the House of Lords and the House of Commons . Parliament gained the "Power of the Purse"—the right to approve or reject new taxes. This financial power allowed Parliament to demand reforms and laws from the king, gradually evolving into a representative legislature.
