Respuesta :

Baraq

Answer:

It indicates that limiting the power of the monarchy is endorsed and consented by Almighty God.

Explanation:

The English Bill of Rights which was passed through the Parliament in 1689, has in its preamble "it hath pleased Almighty God, " which indicates that limiting the power of the monarchy is endorsed and consented by Almighty God.

This was evident, as it was written in the English Bill of Rights as "...his Highness the Prince of Orange (whom it hath pleased Almighty God to make the glorious instrument of delivering this kingdom from popery and arbitrary power)."

Hence, it was believed that the formation of the Bill of Rights was approved by Almighty God, to deliver the British from the arbitrary rule of the monarch.
