Answer 2

Answer:

The power of kings and queens is limited

Explanation:

The English Bill of Rights (1689) was a charter drafted by the British Parliament and directed to the King and Queen of the time (William III and Mary II). This bill limited the powers of the King and Queen to the law, guaranteed people certain rights and gave more power to the Parliament in the reign's decisions, for example, the king now needed the Parliament's consent to set aside laws, maintain an army in peacetime and collect taxes.

This idea that the power of kings and queens is limited highly influenced the American Declaration of Independence (1776) in which the thirteen united States of America declared their independence from the British crown due to its numerous wrongdoings and its failure to protect the colonists' fundamental rights.
