The English Bill of Rights, passed in December 1689, had several major changes for England. It limited the powers of the crown, established the rights of Parliament and freedom of speech within Parliament, established regular Parliamentary elections, reestablished the rights to have arms for defense, and created the right to petition the current monarch without fear of consequence. Finally, it condemned James II, the previous king who was very Catholic and had been deposed in the Glorious Revolution, for disregarding the rights of Protestants in favor of Catholics.
