The English Bill of Rights, enacted in 1689, expanded the rights of common Englishmen by establishing clear limits on the powers of the monarchy and affirming the supremacy of Parliament. It secured essential civil liberties, such as the right to free elections and the prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment.
