William and Mary signed the Bill of Rights in 1689. It gave Parliament
more power than the monarchy and safeguarded the rights of the people.
Monarchs needed the approval of Parliament to suspend laws. They
couldn't raise taxes or sustain an army without the consent of Parliament
either. They were forced to assemble Parliament on a regular basis and
had no say in elections.
