Back to A Long and Illustrious History
The Bill of Rights of 1689
Study note
The Bill of Rights of 1689 confirmed the rights of Parliament and set clear limits on the power of the monarch. The king could no longer raise taxes or run the justice system without the agreement of Parliament, and the monarch had to ask Parliament each year to renew funding for the army and the navy.
Memory tip: 1689 Bill of Rights: no taxes or justice without Parliament; army funding renewed yearly.
