Spanish term or phrase: Decantada
Cuando se desarrolló el concepto de dominio para ciertos territorios, surgió en otro contexto el familiar acertijo sobre que el Parlamento podia limitar de esa forma su decantada omnipotencia.

I think there's something missing in this sentence -- or that the "que" should be "cómo", but I'm not too sure.

Thanks for your input!

exaggerated/aggrandized omnipetence


Explanation:
Hi there:-)
The sense I get from this is that as regards particular territorial domains, Parliament had the power to control or limit their "exaggerated or aggrandized omnipotence" (i.e., self-importance---as in bringing them down "a peg or two", or bringing them into line).

Hope this helps:-)

shared omnipotence


Explanation:
Estoy de acuerdo contigo que la oración tiene (más) sentido si se utiliza "cómo" en lugar de "que". Pienso que la palabra "decantar" en esta oración significa "compartir" o "transferir" como hay que transferir los líquidos cuando se decantan. Encontré los siguientes sitios con la expresión pero no tienen relación con el tema. Saludos
