Answer:

English bill of rights

Step-by-step explanation:

The Catholic king James II was overthrown during the Great Revolution that took place in 1688. King James was replaced by his daughter Mary, who was a protestant and her husband, William of Orange.

There was pressure from William for a joint Monarchy to take effect with him as the king and his wife, Mary, as the Queen. Both of them signed the declaration of rights which was later known as the Bill of Rights.

The Bill of Rights contains a lot of details including the free elections and freedom of speech in parliament.
