Life in the UK Test 29
What marked the beginning of what is called ‘constitutional monarchy’?
Correct Answer: The laws passed after the Glorious Revolution
Constitutional monarchy began with the Glorious Revolution of 1688, when William III replaced King James II.
Parliament then passed the Bill of Rights in 1689, limiting the power of the monarch and establishing parliamentary sovereignty — the monarch could no longer raise taxes or maintain an army without Parliament's consent.
