  1. the english bill of rights was passed on the 16th of december 1689 [Music] the bill of rights established limits on
  2. crown power and also established the need for regular elections we didn't just have one monarch on the throne at this time this was the time of
  3. our joint monarchy between husband and wife william iii and mary ii we're not long after the glorious revolution which had occurred earlier on in the year
  4. and this bill of rights was in fact a restatement of the declaration of rights which had been presented to william and mary earlier in the year it was a
  5. requirement of them taking the throne as part of what is termed the glorious revolution not only did it limit crown power but it also shaped the political

  14. that's interesting i did a magna carta special um magna carta is obviously a massive topic one of the interesting things about
  15. magna carta is it survived because of how it's been brought back to life at certain times and certain parts of it and actually
  16. it's that it's it's its essence that has survived um as opposed to it in its literal terms of what was written down in 1215 but anyway if you want to look
