The glorious revolution & the bill of rights (+2) (1 nov 1688 anni – 1 gen 1689 anni)

Descrizione:

The Glorious Revolution and the 1689 Bill of Rights were significant for advancing political progress by establishing limits on royal power, reinforcing Parliament's authority, and ensuring basic civil liberties. The Bill of Rights introduced principles like frequent parliaments, free elections, and the freedom to petition, which laid groundwork for democratic governance. By enforcing Parliament’s power over taxation and rejecting arbitrary monarchy, it inspired future democratic frameworks globally, including the U.S. Bill of Rights and human rights documents.
