Document Summary
A government is a body, which is usually elected, through democracy, or can be lead by a dictatorship. A democratic government represents the country, and makes key decisions which will impact the country. I will be talking about the government from the uk perspective. The uk government was created in the middle ages, at the time of the magna carta, 1215: the uk government is one of the oldest continuous representative"s assemblies in the world (uk parliament). Henry iii was required to negotiate personally with the baron"s representatives; which is known today as the commons. Montfort forced the king (henry iii) to hand over more power to the government, after a lengthy process and the outcome he wanted, de montfort called all representatives from. Towns and shires together to parliament for the first time in 1265. The development of parliament was driven by the monarch"s need to raise money through taxes. (bbc)
