Question

List at least three ways the English bill of rights and act of settlement resolved political and religious promblems in England in the 1600s

Answer 1

1. freedom from taxation by royal prerogative, without agreement by Parliament

2. freedom to petition the king

3. the freedom of speech in Parliament, in that proceedings in Parliament were not to be questioned in the courts or in any body outside Parliament itself (the basis of modern parliamentary privilege)

Answer 2

Answer:

Word-by-word example:

   The Bill of Rights ensured that a monarch could dismiss Parliament or disrupt its proceedings, as Charles I and Cromwell had done. It led to a stable and continuous Parliament.

   It ensured that monarchs couldn’t levy taxes on citizens whenever they wanted.

   The Bill of Rights and the Act of Settlement guaranteed that England would remain a Protestant country and eliminated the threat of non-Protestant rulers.
