After reading the English Bill of Rights, which dates to the Glorious Revolution of
1688-1689 in England, please answer the question, "Was the English Bill of Rights a
democratic document?"  As you read the document, and I realize that it is difficult
reading because of the somewhat archaic language, you should focus on answering
this specific question, and your answer should not be more than about a long
paragraph.  Your answer should also include quoted evidence from the document to
support your interpretation.  The real key word that you need to understand is
"democratic," and you will really need to think about and define "democratic" to properly
answer this question.  Remember who the author of the document was and that will
help you to answer the question.  Finally it is important that you read this document
closely, because this document is the first in a series of document analysis
assignments which focus on key political documents over the last three centuries and
the evolving definition and understanding of political and human rights.
