I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option 3. The provision that says no army may be kept during peacetime without consent of Parliament was not a part of the English Bill of Rights. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day

Answer:

2. The crown may create new taxes without approval of Parliament

Step-by-step explanation:

The English Bill of Rights (1689) was a charter directed to the King and Queen of the time (William III and Mary II), drafted by the Parliament who sought to place limits on the powers of the crown, give itself more power in the reign decision, and give people certain rights.

The charter limited the powers of the King and Queen to the law, prevented them from acting as judges and establish new courts, from levying taxes, setting aside laws and maintaining an army during peacetime without grant of Parliament and from limiting the freedom of election of the Parliament's members; at the same time it guaranteed citizens certain individual rights like the right to petition the king, and the right of Protestants to have arms for their defense “suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law.”
