Answer:

The limitation of monarchical power

Step-by-step explanation:

The Habeas Corpus Act of 1679 solidified the writ which served as a check and balance to protect individuals and to prevent unlawful imprisonment. Habeus Corpus is a Latin word means "you may have the body" which required a court to checkmate the excesses of the monarchy in unlawfully detaining a prisoner.

This Act contributed to the limitation of monarchial power.
