I believe it was the magna carta and the constitutional monarchy put into place during the great revaluation
the magna carta was a contract between the lords and the kings that limited the kings power, said that all citizens had due process of law and that the king couldn't tax without consent of the people
the great revaluation basically reinforces all the above and says that the king all also has to fall the rules (common law)

Parliament
Because it limited the monarch's power and gave a bit of power to the people. Made life easier for the people.
The Magna Carta, which is generally accepted as the bill of rights in England (UK) limited and transferred some power from the monarch, King John at the time, to the nobles. It did nothing for the ordinary citizen.
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. Secondly, monarch could not levy taxes without consent of the Parliament. Also, they could not raise army without parliament's permission.

After successfully winning the English Revolution, Parliament gained more power and that of the monarch was diminished. After the Glorious Revolution, Parliament ended the eligibility of any Catholic monarch with the removal of James II and the monarchy was changed to a limited Protestant monarchy.
