English Bill of Rights • Justified the Glorious Revolution by explaining the political and religious crimes of the ousted James II • Established a government in which the power of the king was checked and balanced
Inside Left Inside Right • King had overstepped the limits of his power • Violated the Rule of Law • Levied taxes without consent of Parliament • English Bill of Rights (EBR) intended to provide a lasting remedy for the actions of a tyrant • EBR restated the: • Rule of Law • Parliamentary Supremacy • Government by contract and consent • Balance of Power • Included such traditional rights as • Trial by Jury • No cruel and unusual punishment • The right to bear arms….for Protestants • EBR did NOT include: • Individual rights such as free speech or religion
We’ve seen a progression of understanding, expectations, and conflict resolution • From the Magna Carta in 1215, to the P of R is 1628, to the EBR in 1689 • British citizens had come to embrace that they had certain rights that cannot be denied • The Magna Carta, Petition of Right and English Bill of Rights are called the British Constitution
Using the information from the storybook, create a timeline of British History beginning in 1215 through 1689 • You should have a total of 14 entries, beginning with the signing of the Magna Carta and ending with the English Bill of Rights (make sure it’s in chronological order) 1689 1215 Magna Carta signed
