As William of Orange and Queen Mary were invited to the English throne (1688) they promised to sign the Bill of Rights. It limited the monarchs' power and stated that no monarch could neglect the people's right to having a say in the government - that is, the monarch should rule with the consent of the people and together with the parliament. A constitutional or parliamentary monarchy was formed in which the monarch rules over but does not govern the country.
