AP European History
Unit 3 – Absolutism and Constitutionalism
Topic 3.2
How did the English Bill of Rights differ from the Magna Carta in terms of their impact on British governance?
The Magna Carta was more potent in limiting royal authority whereas the Bill of Rights focused solely on religious freedoms.
The Bill of Rights limited monarchic authority more explicitly than the Magna Carta, outlining specific constitutional and parliamentary boundaries for royal power.
The Magna Carta had a stronger emphasis on individual liberties compared to the Bill of Rights.
Both documents equally restricted monarchical power without favoring Parliament or commoners' rights.
