participate in government

The Magna Carta (1215) limited the king’s arbitrary power and required the monarch to consult his barons (e.g., over taxation), establishing early checks on royal authority and a precedent for representation — it did not create a democracy, allow electing kings, or legally authorize overthrowing the monarchy.
