The English Bill of Rights of 1689 limits the king's authority. It is the result of the absolutist aspirations of certain English kings. The law states that the king is not allowed to suspend and deny specific rules without the consent of parliament.
It goes on to say that the king was not willing to remove any individual from the legal framework and put him under absolute protection. Also, the king could not impose new taxes after this law and kept a standing army. The rule also applies to religious freedom, so that the protestants are given complete freedom.
