0 The question is: In which historial age would you have like to live and why? 02br
02br
01b00I would have liked to live in the age of the English Parliamentarism, which I think it has been one of the most important ages in the History. It was so important that everything that changed is still like that way.02br
02br
02b00Please, I need it to be very very formal and with no mistakes, thank you very much.0-
