Final answer:
The English Bill of Rights reduced the power of the monarch and significantly increased the powers of Parliament, setting the stage for a constitutional monarchy and influencing future democratic governments. The correct answer is option A and C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The results of the English Bill of Rights were significant in shaping the constitutional monarchy in England. Notably, it led to:
- A. It reduced the power of the English monarch by establishing a constitutional monarchy, thereby distributing royal authority and ensuring that the monarchy could not rule without the consent of Parliament.
- C. Parliament gained power due to stipulations that it had to regularly convene and had the rights to freedom of speech, right to petition the king, and that taxes could only be raised with Parliament's approval.
The English Bill of Rights did not declare war on Spain nor did it declare independence from Great Britain, so options B and D do not apply. Instead, the Bill was a pivotal step in establishing a system of government that balanced royal power with the rights of Parliament and the people, influencing future democratic developments including the formation of the U.S. Constitution.
