Mad Parliament

Read a random definition: juvenile-justice system

A quick definition of Mad Parliament:

Mad Parliament: A group of important people called barons met with the king in 1258 to solve their problems. They made some new rules that took away some of the king's power and gave more power to the barons. This meeting was called the Mad Parliament because it was unusual and important. They made a plan called the Provisions of Oxford that helped the barons work with the king to make important decisions for the country. This plan worked for a while, but eventually, the barons rebelled against the king in 1263.

A more thorough explanation:

Mad Parliament was an assembly of 24 barons summoned to Oxford by King Henry III in 1258. The assembly was called "mad" because it limited the king's power and gave unprecedented powers to the barons. The parliament produced the Provisions of Oxford, which were a constitution created to settle differences between the king and the barons.

The Provisions of Oxford were a set of laws created by the Mad Parliament. They formed the King's advisory council that met with a group of barons several times a year to handle the country's affairs and resolve grievances. The Provisions were effective until the baron uprising in 1263 under Simon de Montfort.

During the reign of Henry III, the Mad Parliament created the Provisions of Oxford to limit the king's power and give more power to the barons. This was a significant change in the balance of power in England at the time.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
