Answer 1

Charles II is matched with the restoration of power to Parliament, Oliver Cromwell is matched with the Bill of Rights, and Mary II is matched with William and Mary's accession to the throne. The correct option is d) Charles II and 3) the Bill of Rights

Step-by-step explanation:

Charles II (b) is matched with 'the restoring of power to Parliament in 1689.' Charles II was brought to the throne of England in 1660. His reign saw the restoration of the monarchy and his actions eventually led to the Bill of Rights, which limited the power of the monarchy and enhanced the power of Parliament. Charles II's legacy was significant in shaping the political landscape of England in the seventeenth century.

Oliver Cromwell (c) is matched with 'the Bill of Rights.' Although Cromwell was not a ruler of England in the seventeenth century, his actions during the English Civil War and his establishment of the Commonwealth led to the eventual restoration of the monarchy under Charles II. The Bill of Rights passed in 1689, was a direct response to the abuses of power seen during Cromwell's rule and aimed to ensure the protection of individual liberties.

Mary II (b) is matched with 'William and Mary's accession to the throne in 1688.' Mary II, along with her husband William of Orange, became joint monarchs of England following the Glorious Revolution in 1688. Their accession to the throne represented a shift towards a constitutional monarchy, as they agreed to accept the Bill of Rights and shared power with Parliament. The correct option is d) Charles II and 3) the Bill of Rights
