Detailed explanation-1: -In 1689, Parliament passed the English Bill of Rights, which, like Magna Carta, established regulations limiting the monarch’s power and safeguarding the people’s individual rights. The Bill was a turning point in British political history since it limited the monarch’s authority while establishing Parliament’s rights.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Parliament then went on to pass the English Bill of Rights in 1689 which, like Magna Carta, laid out rules restricting the power of the monarch and protecting the individual rights of the people.
Detailed explanation-3: -Magna Carta was issued in June 1215 and was the first document to put into writing the principle that the king and his government was not above the law. It sought to prevent the king from exploiting his power, and placed limits of royal authority by establishing law as a power in itself.
Detailed explanation-4: -The English Bill of Rights created a constitutional monarchy in England, meaning the king or queen acts as head of state but his or her powers are limited by law. Under this system, the monarchy couldn’t rule without the consent of Parliament, and the people were given individual rights.
Detailed explanation-5: -What central ideas did the Magna Carta, the Petition of Right, and the English Bill of Rights have in common? How did this idea influence the governments that the English settlers established in the colonies? They all gave certain rights to individuals and limited the power of the king and government.
