Parliament laid the foundation for a constitutional monarchy.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

After King James II English Bill of rights was passed as law by the rulers William and Mary. William and Mary were couples and they ruled the monarchy jointly. They were the ones who gave Parliament all rights and power.

The constitutional rights declared Parliament as high above the Monarchs. This was the start of the Glorious revolution. This was the stepping stone for modern monarchy. This was the start of constitutional monarchy which set an example to many countries.
