The British parliamentary system provides a model for the form of government in modern countries.The origins of the British parliamentary system can be traced back to the Anglo-Saxon era.From the original King's Council,they experienced the medieval hierarchical representation and eventually evolved into a modern representative institution.Taking the transformation of the British elite's structure from the Middle Ages to the Glorious Revolution and the changes in the functions of the representative institution as the basic clues,combing the process of parliamentary change is not only the subject of the proposition,but also its basic assumption.By sorting out the process of the emergence,development and formation of the British parliamentary system,the reasons for the changes of the British parliamentary system are analyzed,which shows that it is the result of the joint action of various factors.The most important factor is the transformation of the elite's structure.In the past,academic circles either studied in the British legal tradition,or from the spirit of compromise in British political culture,or from the perspective of production methods,and rarely analyzed from the perspective of elite structure changes.It is a new attempt to verify the formation and change of the British parliamentary system with the American scholar Richard Lachmann's Elite Conflict Theory,in order to verify the game between the British elite's group(king,nobility and the third class)and the parliamentary transformation.The relationship between them not only enriches the theory of elite's conflict theory and the theory of government form,but also provides a new research perspective for the construction of representative or representative systems and the operation of mechanisms.A developing country for the construction of representative government forms and operational mechanisms,It is from the British parliament.In the process of the transformation of the system,wewill draw on the intentional experience and consider the situation of the elites in the country and the comparison of their strengths to provide useful reference and provide new analytical clues to countries that have failed to learn representative government.
