It is British Bill of Rights and Magna Carta that does it for example. it was one of parts of british "CONSTITUTION"
That would be the Magna Charta, but Parliament didn't make King John sign it, it was a bunch of unruly noblemen.

The parliament forced the monarch to sign the petition of right because it demands an end to taxing without consent, imprisoning citizens illegally, housing troops in citizens' homes, and military government in peacetime.

William and Mary signed the Bill of Rights in 1689. It gave Parliamentmore power than the monarchy and safeguarded the rights of the people.Monarchs needed the approval of Parliament to suspend laws. Theycouldn't raise taxes or sustain an army without the consent of Parliamenteither. They were forced to assemble Parliament on a regular basis andhad no say in elections.
In a nutshell - Charles I believed in the Divine Right of Kings and wanted to rule as an 'absolute monarch'. Basically this means that he believed Parliament existed to serve him. Because Parliament believed differently, that the King ruled with Parliament and was not above the laws of the land, Charles and Parliament would clash and Charles would end up dismissing Parliament and trying to rule without them. A bit difficult to do, since Parliament held the purse strings. Charles would use what ever means he could find to raise money without having to recall Parliament, means that weren't always legal or ethical. In the end, when he was finally forced to call a Parliament, they turned on him; Charles tried to evict them, they refused to leave, he called an army and the Civil War began. In the end, Charles lost his head, his family went on the run and Cromwell ruled the country as dictator for several years.
