Major principles of the English Bill of Rights

Free speech for members of Parliament

Protection from cruel punishments

A. Freedom to petition the government

Explanation:

The English Bill of Rights (1689) was a charter drafted by the Parliament and directed to the King and Queen of the time (William III and Mary II) to establish certain rights to the people and the parliament and to limit the power of the monarch, whose rule was perceived to be abusive. Some of the major principles of the charter were the freedom of speech, debates and proceedings in Parliament, which now had the power to approve some of the king's acts, people's protections from cruel punishment, and their freedom to petition the government, a provision that made prosecutions for such petitioning illegal.
