Brief Explanations

The English Bill of Rights (1689) followed the Glorious Revolution. It built on the Magna Carta (1215) which had started to limit monarchial power. The Bill of Rights further limited the monarch's power (e.g., no suspending laws without Parliament's consent) and gave basic civil liberties (e.g., freedom from excessive bail). England was not a democracy before the Bill of Rights (it was a monarchy with Parliamentary elements), and the Bill made it a constitutional monarchy, not an absolute monarchy. It did not remove freedoms of speech or religion. English commoners did not get the right to elect kings and queens (monarchs are hereditary in the UK).

Answer:

Builds upon the Magna Carta's limits on a monarch's power and provides for basic civil liberties for the English people.
