Growing Democracy in England

Question 1 • Modern World History A-CR

What text structure did the writers of the English Bill of Rights use to frame their argument?

Answer

They used sequencing to explain the events of the Glorious Revolution in the order they occurred.

They discussed the causes of the king’s removal from the throne, and then described the rights the new monarchs would protect as an effect.

They documented a problem with England’s taxation system and proposed a solution.

They described the reign of King James II.

Explanation

The English Bill of Rights first lists abuses and actions by King James II that led to his removal, then sets out the rights and limits the new monarchs were expected to uphold. This cause-and-effect structure frames the argument. Choice A focuses on narrating events in time order, while C narrows the issue to taxation, which is not the document’s overall structure.
