The primary UK Bill of Rights refers to the Bill of Rights 1689, a foundational document of the UK constitution that limits the power of the monarchy and Parliament,
established key liberties like free elections and parliamentary free speech, and affirmed rights such as freedom from cruel punishment and taxation without parliamentary consent. It arose from the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and was a statutory restatement of the
Declaration of Right. In addition to the historical Bill of Rights 1689, discussions about a more modern UK Bill of Rights have occurred periodically, most recently with the proposed
Bill of Rights Bill 2022, which aimed to replace the
Human Rights Act 1998.
