__Glourious Revolution__ In result of the Glorious Revolution from 1688 to 1689 the English Bill of Rights was born when William and Mary accepted the throne from Parliament. The Bill of Rights was the cornerstone of the modern British Constitution. It stated that laws were made in the Parliament and once the law was made the law could not be suspended by the Crown. Parliament had to be called upon every three years and the elections and the debates in Parliament were free in the sense that the Crown was not to interfere with them. The Crown could no longer do whatever they pleased without the Parliaments consent.
