Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The English Bill of Rights laid the foundation for a constitutional monarchy by limiting the power of the monarchy and establishing the supremacy of Parliament. It also affirmed the rights and liberties of the individual, including the right to a fair trial and freedom from cruel and unusual punishment. It did not resolve all of England's seventeenth-century religious questions or reaffirm the divine-right theory of kingship, and it limited the king's power to raise armies without parliamentary consent. Additionally, it did not state that taxes could only be approved by the House of Lords, not the House of Commons.
