The English Bill of Rights includes the following items:
A list of King James’s misdeeds
13 articles that outlined specific freedoms
Confirmation that William and Mary were rightful successors to the throne of England
In general, the Bill of Rights limited the power of the monarchy, elevated the status of Parliament and outlined specific rights of individuals.
Some of the key liberties and concepts laid out in the articles include:
Freedom to elect members of Parliament, without the king or queen’s interference
Freedom of speech in Parliament
Freedom from royal interference with the law
Freedom to petition the king
Freedom to bear arms for self-defense
Freedom from cruel and unusual punishment and excessive bail
Freedom from taxation by royal prerogative, without the agreement of Parliament
Freedom of fines and forfeitures without a trial
Freedom from armies being raised during peacetimes
Other important provisions were that Roman Catholics couldn’t be king or queen, Parliament should be summoned frequently and the succession of the throne would be passed to Mary’s sister, Princess Anne of Denmark, and her heirs (than to any heirs of William by a later marriage).
