English Bill of Rights took the power away from English monarch and transferred it to the Parliament. Very importantly, it did not allow monarch to follow Catholic religion or marry a Catholic.

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.
There were more, but the two most important are the Magna Carta of 1215 AD that amongst others limited the power of the the king to order arbitrary arrests and imprisonment without the consent of a judge, and the Bill of Rights signed by Dutch King William III after the Glorious Revolution in 1689 AD, basically ending the absolute rule by the king and starting the rule through Parliament.
The Bill of rights did not allow the monarch to suspend laws, to tax without parliament's consent, or to raise an army in peacetime without approval from parliament.
Great Britain, the King and Parliament, were creating taxes to pay for the French and Indian War, or Seven Years' War. This war was fought on the soil of the colonist and for the protection of the colonists, therefore, Britain reasoned, the colonists should have to pay for the cost of the war. The Parliament and the King created these taxes without consent from the colonies; the colonies had no representation. Taxes like that would never have happened on the Great Britain mainland because they all had representatives in Parliament.
The English Bill of Rights of 1689 did NOT: a. specify that Parliament had to consent to raising an army in peacetime. b. specify that Parliament had to be called "frequently." c. give the vote to all adult males. d. specify that Parliament had to consent to changes in law.

This is a system of government based on the consent of the governed on which representatives of the public exercise power
The consent of the governed is that the people have a chance to vote for their leaders and talk to their representatives.
These principles were: free elections, freedom of speech within Parliament, and prohibition of standing armies without consent.
parliament members
