What limits did the bill of rights place on the royal power?

Answer 1

The Bill of Rights (i.e., the first eight or ten Amendments to the United States Constitution, ratified by 1791) became law through textual inclusion within the U.S. Constitution after the original ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1788. The pre-Bill-of-Rights U.S. Constitution had succeeded the Articles of Confederation, which themselves were constitution to charter by the Declaration of Independence, which is regarded in American Constitutional Law as the document declaring opposition to, and irrevocable separation from, the British Monarchy, the Declaration of Independence having been prosecuted by the Revolutionary War.

The Bill of Rights (i.e., Amendments I through X to the U.S. Constitution) is a recognition of pre-existing, inalienable, natural, individual, residual and State's rights accruing to the People of the United States, and governs the conditions of the delegation of their sovereignty to succeeding American governments.
