The English Bill of Rights was signed after which event?

• A. English Civil War
• B. Glorious Revolution
• C. American Revolution
• D. French Revolution

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that the English Bill of Rights was drawn up after a major shift toward limits on royal power and stronger parliamentary sovereignty. This happened during and after the Glorious Revolution of 1688, when James II was replaced by William III and Mary II. In exchange for their rule, Parliament compelled them to sign the Bill of Rights in 1689, which constrained the crown’s authority and protected certain liberties and the rights of Parliament—such as regular sessions, free elections, and assent to taxes and laws. That connection is why the Glorious Revolution is the best answer: it directly led to a formal, written framework of constitutional limits in England. The other events—the English Civil War, the American Revolution, and the French Revolution—occurred earlier or later and in different contexts, and they did not produce this specific document.
