Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Bill of Rights of 1689 gave the British Parliament powers and limited those of the monarch. It was a response to the abuses of power by King James II and established Parliament as the supreme authority in government. It did not concern universal human rights, the newly independent United States, the French Revolution, or female political equality.
