1. Reviewed the political spectrum
2. Defined forms of rule: Absolute Monarchy and Democracy and plotted them on the political spectrum.
3. Using the textbook, we read the section on "Royal Power and Democracy". Discussed what the political situation was like during the 1200s in England and how and why the Magna Carta came about and why it is a historically significant document and still affects us today.

• The Magna Carta (British Library)
• The Magna Carta and the emergence of parliament
