Answer 1

A is the answer if I’m not mistaken

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) the power of kings and queens was limited.

The English bill of rights, which influenced the Declaration of Independence, established the idea that the power of kings and queens was limited.

One of the most important documents in the history of Great Britain was the English Bill of Rights. Queen William III and Queen Mary II signed the Bill of Rights in 1689 after they overthrew King James II. The Bill of Rights for the first time granted more power to the Parliament over the monarchy and included some civil rights. The document represented a victory for the English people after a long period of dominance and tyranny of the British monarchy. The English Bill of Rights also served as an inspiration of the United States Bill of Rights written by James Madison.
