The Bill of Rights 1689 is a foundational piece of legislation enacted in the United Kingdom. It established limits on the powers of the monarch and set out the rights of Parliament, including requirements for regular parliaments, free elections, and freedom of speech within Parliament.
The act also prohibited the crown from suspending or executing laws without parliamentary consent and forbade the levying of taxes without Parliament’s approval. It addressed abuses of power by the monarchy, particularly under James II, and reinforced the principle of parliamentary sovereignty.
