What rights did English people have at this time? Read pages 124 through 128, Start with “The Enlightenment” but skip the section on Increase Mather Then “The Rights of Englishmen” and “Parliament”. Skip “A Royal Governor’s Rule” on page 127. End with “England’s Glorious Revolution” trace the events that helped the “rights of Englishmen” develop (in other words, shifted the power from the king).
