B. By introducing the principle of Habeas corpus

C. By making all public offices elected by the people

D. By protecting religious freedom

Answer 1

A.By elevating the Parliament above the monarchy

Answer 2

The correct answer is Option A: By elevating the Parliament above the monarchy.

The English Bill of Rights was passed in 1689 and severely curtailed the power of the ruling Monarch.

In essence everything from starting new wars to raising taxes could now only be done with the approval of the Parliament.

Before the Bill, the Monarch, for the most part, acted alone without the consent or permission of anyone.

The English Bill of Rights sets out certain constitutional matters and several basic civil rights of citizens.
