Explanation
The question refers to the contents of the English Bill, which is an important document in the history of England. The emphasis turns to the monarchy’s relationship with the Parliament especially with respect to tax matters. Briefly, the monarchy could not raise or collect taxes without the consent of Parliament, as it's a right within the principle of the trias politica model, that gives Legislature the power to apply or to agree on taxing. The introduction of this principle weakened the absolute of the monarchy and established parliamentary democracy in England.
