Detailed explanation-1: -In Britain, the Glorious Revolution of 1688 led to a constitutional monarchy restricted by laws such as the Bill of Rights 1689 and the Act of Settlement 1701, although limits on the power of the monarch (’A Limited Monarchy’) are much older than that, as seen in our Magna Carta.
