The English Bill of Rights was an act signed into law in 1689 by William III and Mary II, who became co-rulers in England after the overthrow of King James II. The bill outlined specific constitutional and civil rights and ultimately gave Parliament power over the monarchy.
The United Kingdom is a parliamentary democracy: government is voted into power by the people, to act in the interests of the people.
