The English colonists brought with them the idea that they had political rights. This idea was rooted in English history. In 1215. English nobles forced King John to sign the Magna Carta, the Latin name meaning "great charter." The Magna Carta was the first document to place restrictions on an English ruler's power. Under the Magna Carta, nobles formed a Great Council to advise the king. This body developed into the English Parliament. Parliament's greatest power was the right to approve new taxes. An event in 1688 further boosted parliamentary power. Parliament removed King James II from the throne and invited his daughter Mary and her husband William to rule. This was called the Glorious Revolution. In 1689, King William and Queen Mary signed the English Bill of Rights.
