The Bill of Rights (1689) William and Mary had to agree to the “Bill of Rights” before they were crowned It was a document that made sure that the monarch could no longer rule without or against the Parliament England became a “constitutional monarchy” Since that time there have been no revolutionary changes in Britain http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Bill_of_Rights_ratified_at_the_Revolution_by_King_William,_and_Queen_Mary,_previous_to_their_Coronation_by_J._Cary.jpg PD, 3.2.2013

A few amendments of the Bill of Rights The Parliament must be summoned at least once every 3 years The Monarch must not be Catholic The Parliament decides how to spend money Only the Parliament can make laws Only the Parliament can introduce taxes There will be no standing army in peacetime The monarch is not allowed to disturb the meetings of the Parliament

The tories and the whigs These two political parties formed in the time of “restoration“ The tories – big landowners, friends of the Church of England The whigs – old aristocratic families, rich London merchants and renegades Establishment of the Bank of England – lent money to the state – close relations with Amsterdam – London became financial and business centre of all the world http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:London.bankofengland.arp.jpg PD, 3.2.2013 http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Microcosm_of_London_Plate_007_-_Bank_of_England.jpg PD, 3.2.2013
