Answer:

It ends with the absolute monarchy and a parliamentary monarchy is established.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bill of Right establishes the rights and duties that correspond to Parliament and the King, also limits the power of the nobility and establishes the following duties:

  • The King cannot create or eliminate laws or taxes without the approval of Parliament.
  • The King cannot collect money for his personal use, without the approval of Parliament.
  • It is illegal to recruit and maintain an army in peacetime, without Parliament's approval.
  • Elections of members of Parliament must be free.
  • Parliament's words cannot be hindered or denied anywhere else.
  • Parliament must meet frequently.
