This document summarizes the development of constitutional monarchy in England after the restoration of Charles II to the throne in 1660. Key events included limitations placed on royal power by Parliament, problems that plagued Charles' reign including the plague and Great Fire of London, and the influence of political philosophers like Hobbes and Locke. Parliament passed laws like the Habeas Corpus Act, English Bill of Rights, and Act of Toleration to safeguard citizens' rights and limit arbitrary rule. This led to the growth of parliamentary rule and a constitutional monarchy with the monarch as head of state but reduced real political power.
