The Bill of Rights (full name: a bill declaring the rights and freedoms of subjects and establishing the succession to the throne) is an important legal document in the British bourgeois revolution, but it is not a constitution.
The Bill of Rights laid the theoretical and legal foundation of British constitutional monarchy, established the principle that parliamentary power is higher than royal power, and marked the establishment of British constitutional monarchy. Together with the law of succession to the throne, it marks the end of the British bourgeois revolution and clears the way for the rapid development of British capitalism.
Background introduction:
In order to avoid 1660 drawing lessons from the restoration of the Stuart dynasty, Britain decided to restrict the king's power by law and ensure its own power, so it put forward a "declaration of rights" to William and Mary at the plenary session of the upper and lower houses of parliament, demanding that the king should not stop the legal effect without the consent of the parliament, and no Catholic should collect taxes without the consent of the parliament in the future.
William accepted these demands, that is, the British throne is for William III and Mary is the Queen of England, not for Mary Ⅱ. 1689 10, Parliament passed the Declaration of Rights and made it into law, which is the Bill of Rights.
