A act that reduced the power of the English monarchy in ,1689
The laws and acts of the ruler of England are numerous and varied, depending on the time period. In the modern era, the ruler of England is the monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II. The monarch has various legal powers, including the power to: Appoint and dismiss ministers Appoint and dismiss judges Issue Royal Proclamations Grant pardons Sign treaties and international agreements Declare war Create and abolish lawsAdditionally, the monarch is subject to a number of laws and acts, such as the Bill of Rights 1689 and the Act of Settlement 1701. These laws and acts limit the monarch's power and ensure that the monarchy is subject to the rule of law.

Constitutional monarchies vary considerably in form and function, from severely limited powers vested in the monarch to monarchs that are very strong and act as the head of an executive branch of government. It would even be possible to have a constitutional monarch elected, either for life or for a set term. It would be fair (and easy) to say that the only two features shared by all constitutional monarchies are a reigning monarch as head of state, and a formalized constitution defining and limiting the rights and powers of that monarch, perhaps defining duties and obligations of the monarchy, and/or defining and guaranteeing rights and privileges of the people.
War Powers Act
The Act of Settlement 1701 requires that the monarch "join in communion with the Church of England", which effectively means they can't be Roman Catholic.
I believe you mean the act of succession; and its primary purpose is to ensure a smooth transition of power from the existing monarch to the new monarch when there is a death or disability of the existing ruler.
