English bill of Rights is an act passed by parliament, that ensured the superiority of parliament over the monarchy. The act limited the power of the monarchy, but it also bolstered the rights and liberties of individual citizens.

The bill outlined specific constitutional and civil rights and ultimately gave Parliament power over the monarchy. Many experts regard the English Bill of Rights as the primary law that set the stage for a constitutional monarchy in England.

The EBOR influenced laws, documents and ideologies in the United States. Encourage a form of government where the rights and liberties of individuals were protected. For example in 17791, the US Bill of Rights guarantee freedom of speech, trial by jury, and protection from cruel and unusual punishment.
