1. The correct answer is: Previous Catholic monarchs had persecuted English Protestants.
To get this answer, we need to understand the context of the English Bill of Rights. The exclusion of Roman Catholics from being crowned was a response to the previous history of religious conflict and persecution in England. Catholic monarchs, such as Queen Mary I, had persecuted Protestants during their reigns. Therefore, to prevent any potential religious conflicts and ensure the protection of religious freedoms for Protestants, the provision was included in the English Bill of Rights.
2. The correct answers are: Parliament and citizens.
To answer this question, we need to understand the purpose of the English Bill of Rights. It was drafted in response to King James II's abuse of power. The bill aimed to limit the monarchy's power and increase the authority of other institutions. In this case, Parliament and citizens were the entities that sought to have more power compared to the monarchy.
3. The correct answer is: The English Bill of Rights was established.
The Glorious Revolution was a period of political and religious upheaval in England in the late 17th century. As a result of this revolution, King James II was overthrown, and William III and Mary II were installed as joint monarchs. This event led to significant political changes, including the establishment of the English Bill of Rights. The English Bill of Rights outlined the rights and liberties of individuals and set limitations on the monarchy's power.
