The English Bill of Rights is the document that was written by Parliament that limited the power of the King. It was ratified on December 16, 1689.
The Magna Carta
It was called the Bill of Rights passed on the 16 December 1689.
The English Bill of Rights was collectively authored by the Parliament of England. It does not have any acknowledged individual authors. It was based on and was a restatement of the Declaration of Right which was collectively authored by the Convention Parliament in March 1689. The Parliament of England then wrote the Bill of Rights and in December 1689, presented it to William and Mary and invited them to be the king and queen of England.
The First Continental Congress drew up a statement known as the Declaration and Resolves of the First Continental Congress, also known as the Declaration of Colonial Rights, or the Declaration of Rights in 1774. It was similar to the Declaration of Rights and Grievances, but that document was drafted by a different group earlier, in 1765.
to prevent abuse of power by William and Mary and all future monarchs, Parliaments in 1689 drew up a list of provisions to which William and Mary had to agree. this document "The English Bill Of rights" prohibited a standing army in peacetime, except with the consent of parliment and required that all parliamentary elections be free. Our nation has built on changed and added to those ideas and institutions that the settlers brought here from England. still much in American Government and politics today is based on these early English ideas.
To write the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson drew largely from two works, one of them his own, which was called "A Summary View of the Rights of British America." He wrote this document in 1774 and it was widely circulated amongst the Revolutionaries. The popularity of this document was one reason why he was chosen to write the Declaration. The second document he drew from was George Mason's "Virginia Declaration of Rights." This document was adopted unanimously by the Virginia Convention on June 12, 1776. It was put into the Constitution of Virginia and is still there to this day.

The Declaration of Independence is the document that contains the long list of grievances against the king of England. Some of the grieves were that the king made it so the colonies had no representation in Parliament and that he told his army to ignore the laws and government that the colonist had established.
