What was the importance of the Model Parliament of 1295?

Answer 1

The term 'Model Parliament' is given to the English parliament called by Edward I in 1295. It was the first royal parliament and consisted of an unelected House of Lords and a House of Commons representing the counties and towns.

Answer 2

This parliament was important because it was one of the first parliaments ever used. It was used by King Edward who's main goal was to raise money by making more taxes so he could raise the funds for his wars. Why it was named the model parliament was that since this was one of the first parliaments it set a model for many new parliaments to come in the future. The parliament used thirty years earlier was not as much of a sucess as King Edward's parliament because Simon De Montfort called De Montfort's parliament and said that the same scheme would be used for the king. Since that parliament did not stay under the same king, King Edward's parliament was always known as the model parliament.
