Why did the Barons of England eventually gain more leverage?

History
1 answer:
Gnom [1K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The Barons of England were angry with the King and eventually rebelled against him because he over-taxed them for his unproductive wars in French territory and forced him to sign the Magna Carta which limited his power as King.

They eventually gained leverage because the English monarchy needed money to pay ransom for John's brother who was abducted and made prisoner by Emperor Henry VI and to fund the Crusades.

Please select the word from the list that best fits the definition a person who takes power by force and rules with total author
topjm [15]

According to the Cambridge and Merriam-Webster dictionaries, a person who takes power by force and rules with total authority is a dictator. A dictator is not elected by the people, and extends his powers into the private lives of the people. He usually enjoys a cult of personality throughout the nation. An example of dictator would be Hitler in Germany between 1933 and 1945.

You should bear in mind that there are two other words which could fit this definiton, with some nuance:

  • if this ruler uses its unlimited power unfairly and/or cruelly, it is a tyrant;
  • if this ruler came to power through elections which he rigged, and simply rules without any political opposition, it is an autocrat.
