Star Chamber

Star chamber was a type of court that happened in England a very long time ago. It was secret and it had a lot of powerful people like the king and his advisors. They would use it to decide cases and make a lot of different laws. They could be very harsh and unfair, especially to people who were poor or who didn't have much power. Today, we don't have star chamber courts anymore because people have decided that it's better to have fair and open courts.
