The English Bill of Rights enumerates each of the following EXCEPT:

Answer
A
the right to religious freedom

D
the right to petition the king with grievances

Explanation

The English Bill of Rights of 1689 protected free elections to Parliament, freedom of speech within Parliament, and the right to petition the monarch. It did not establish a general right to religious freedom; religious toleration remained limited. Therefore, the exception is “the right to religious freedom.”
