Answer:

Why did it take so long for monarchs to be subject to the rule of law just like everyone else?

European Absolute Monarchs of the Modern Era had accumulated lots of power, starting from the Middle Ages. They had subjugated the former medieval feudal lords, and they also had the support of the Church (the Catholic Church in the case of nations like France and Spain, and Protestant Churches in the case of England).

This alliance with the Church not only gave them more political power and wealth, but also legitimacy in front of the people. Many of these monarchs, like Louis XIV, were seen almost divine.

Why was England first to have a constitutional monarchy rather than an absolute monarchy?

England had a tradition of limiting the power of the monarch that traces back to the Carta Magna of 1215.

From that moment on, the parliament always kept some form of check on the monarch.

Besides, England, along with the Netherlands, was the first European country to liberalize the economy. This economic freedom brought wealth to many merchants, tradesmen and so on, what would be known as the  

bourgeoisie.

These people began to demand political representation in the parliament, which contributed to the power decline of the English monarchs.

What can be inferred from these lines describing the pardoner in Chaucer's prologue to The Canterbury Tales? He had a fine veron
N76 [4]
The lines from The Canterbury Tales about the pardoner describes how he seems to have lots of money, enough to buy a hat with nice material with a nice fat wallet of pardons. This suggests that the pardoner is corrupt because in the time period Chaucer is writing, one could sell "pardons." You can conclude that the pardoner makes his money from selling holy forgiveness in the form of "pardons."

The Articles of Confederation, a compact among the thirteen original states, was written in 1776 but not ratified by the states until 1781. The loose "league of friendship" that it created reflected the founders' reaction to the central authority of King George III.
