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.

What did the glorious revolution of England accomplish?

The Glorious Revolution led to the creation of the English Bill of Rights. This made England a constitutional monarchy, shifting the balance of power between the monarchy and the parliament greatly in favor of the parliament. This made Britain more democratic because a greater number of people were involved in decision making.


What elements of the English Monarchy survived the Revolution and Restoration?

The English Monarchy saw the survival of key elements such as the institution itself, albeit in a limited and constitutional form. The monarchy was restored in 1660 with Charles II, but the power of the crown was curtailed by the establishment of parliamentary sovereignty during the preceding Civil War and the Commonwealth period. Symbolic aspects, such as royal ceremonies and the monarchy's role as a national unifier, also persisted. Ultimately, the monarchy adapted to coexist with an increasingly powerful Parliament and the principles of constitutional governance.
