Question

What groups of people were included in the Common Council in article 14? What groups were left out?

Answer 1

Answer:

Representatives of the clergy and members of the nobility would be the people who would be part of the Common Council, while peasants and ordinary people would be left out.

Explanation:

The Common Council was the body created, through the magma letter, to limit the action of the king and act as a type of parliament capable of managing and administering the country in several categories. This council was formed by members of the clergy, such as archbishops, bishops, abbots, counts and great barons of the kingdom; and, by members of royalty. However, ordinary citizens like peasants were left out, which means that they had no kind of representation that could be positive towards them.
