Explanation:

Bill of Rights is a document written in England in 1689, which imposed the English Parliament on Prince William of Orange to succeed King James II.

The main purpose of this text was to recover and strengthen certain parliamentary faculties that were already disappeared or notoriously diminished during the absolutist reign of the Stuarts (Charles II and James II). It is one of the immediate precedents of modern "Bill of Rights", including:

• the preamble to the Declaration of Independence of the United States (1776),

• the revolutionary Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (1789) and

• the international Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948).
