An Act Declaring the Rights and Liberties of the Subject and
Settling the Succession of the Crown
Whereas the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons assembled at
Westminster, lawfully, fully and freely representing all the
estates of the people of this realm, did upon the thirteenth day
of February in the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred
eighty-eight [old style date] present unto their Majesties, then
called and known by the names and style of William and Mary,
prince and princess of Orange, being present in their proper
persons, a certain declaration in writing made by the said Lords
and Commons in the words following, viz.:
Whereas the late King James the Second, by the assistance of
divers evil counsellors, judges and ministers employed by him,
did endeavour to subvert and extirpate the Protestant religion
and the laws and liberties of this kingdom;
By assuming and exercising a power of dispensing with and
suspending of laws and the execution of laws without consent of
Parliament;
By committing and prosecuting divers worthy prelates for humbly
petitioning to be excused from concurring to the said assumed power;
By issuing and causing to be executed a commission under the
great seal for erecting a court called the Court of Commissioners
for Ecclesiastical Causes;
By levying money for and to the use of the Crown by pretence of
prerogative for other time and in other manner than the same was
granted by Parliament;
By raising and keeping a standing army within this kingdom in
time of peace without consent of Parliament, and quartering
soldiers contrary to law;
By causing several good subjects being Protestants to be disarmed
at the same time when papists were both armed and employed
contrary to law;
By violating the freedom of election of members to serve in
Parliament;
By prosecutions in the Court of King's Bench for matters and
causes cognizable only in Parliament, and by divers other
arbitrary and illegal courses;
And whereas of late years partial corrupt and unqualified persons
have been returned and served on juries in trials, and
particularly divers jurors in trials for high treason which were
not freeholders;
And excessive bail hath been required of persons committed in
criminal cases to elude the benefit of the laws made for the
liberty of the subjects;
And excessive fines have been imposed;
And illegal and cruel punishments inflicted;
And several grants and promises made of fines and forfeitures
before any conviction or judgment against the persons upon whom
the same were to be levied;
All which are utterly and directly contrary to the known laws and
statutes and freedom of this realm;
And whereas the said late King James the Second having abdicated
the government and the throne being thereby vacant, his Highness
the prince of Orange (whom it hath pleased Almighty God to make
the glorious instrument of delivering this kingdom from popery
and arbitrary power) did (by the advice of the Lords Spiritual
and Temporal and divers principal persons of the Commons) cause
letters to be written to the Lords Spiritual and Temporal being
Protestants, and other letters to the several counties, cities,
universities, boroughs and cinque ports, for the choosing of such
persons to represent them as were of right to be sent to
Parliament, to meet and sit at Westminster upon the two and
twentieth day of January in this year one thousand six hundred
eighty and eight [old style date], in order to such an
establishment as that their religion, laws and liberties might
not again be in danger of being subverted, upon which letters
elections having been accordingly made;
And thereupon the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons,
pursuant to their respective letters and elections, being now
assembled in a full and free representative of this nation,
taking into their most serious consideration the best means for
attaining the ends aforesaid, do in the first place (as their
ancestors in like case have usually done) for the vindicating and
asserting their ancient rights and liberties declare
That the pretended power of suspending the laws or the execution
of laws by regal authority without consent of Parliament is illegal;
That the pretended power of dispensing with laws or the execution
of laws by regal authority, as it hath been assumed and exercised
of late, is illegal;
That the commission for erecting the late Court of Commissioners
for Ecclesiastical Causes, and all other commissions and courts
of like nature, are illegal and pernicious;
That levying money for or to the use of the Crown by pretence of
prerogative, without grant of Parliament, for longer time, or in
other manner than the same is or shall be granted, is illegal;
That it is the right of the subjects to petition the king, and
all commitments and prosecutions for such petitioning are illegal;
That the raising or keeping a standing army within the kingdom in
time of peace, unless it be with consent of Parliament, is
against law;
That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their
defence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law;
That election of members of Parliament ought to be free;
That the freedom of speech and debates or proceedings in
Parliament ought not to be impeached or questioned in any court
or place out of Parliament;
That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines
imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted;
That jurors ought to be duly impanelled and returned, and jurors
which pass upon men in trials for high treason ought to be
freeholders;
That all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of
particular persons before conviction are illegal and void;
And that for redress of all grievances, and for the amending,
strengthening and preserving of the laws, Parliaments ought to be
held frequently.
And they do claim, demand and insist upon all and singular the
premises as their undoubted rights and liberties, and that no
declarations, judgments, doings or proceedings to the prejudice
of the people in any of the said premises ought in any wise to be
drawn hereafter into consequence or example; to which demand of
their rights they are particularly encouraged by the declaration
of his Highness the prince of Orange as being the only means for
obtaining a full redress and remedy therein. Having therefore an
entire confidence that his said Highness the prince of Orange
will perfect the deliverance so far advanced by him, and will
still preserve them from the violation of their rights which they
have here asserted, and from all other attempts upon their
religion, rights and liberties, the said Lords Spiritual and
Temporal and Commons assembled at Westminster do resolve that
William and Mary, prince and princess of Orange, be and be
declared king and queen of England, France and Ireland and the
dominions thereunto belonging, to hold the crown and royal
dignity of the said kingdoms and dominions to them, the said
prince and princess, during their lives and the life of the
survivor to them, and that the sole and full exercise of the
regal power be only in and executed by the said prince of Orange
in the names of the said prince and princess during their joint
lives, and after their deceases the said crown and royal dignity
of the same kingdoms and dominions to be to the heirs of the body
of the said princess, and for default of such issue to the
Princess Anne of Denmark and the heirs of her body, and for
default of such issue to the heirs of the body of the said prince
of Orange. And the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons do
pray the said prince and princess to accept the same accordingly.
And that the oaths hereafter mentioned be taken by all persons of
whom the oaths have allegiance and supremacy might be required by
law, instead of them; and that the said oaths of allegiance and
supremacy be abrogated.
I, A.B., do sincerely promise and swear that I will be faithful
and bear true allegiance to their Majesties King William and
Queen Mary. So help me God.
I, A.B., do swear that I do from my heart abhor, detest and
abjure as impious and heretical this damnable doctrine and
position, that princes excommunicated or deprived by the Pope or
any authority of the see of Rome may be deposed or murdered by
their subjects or any other whatsoever. And I do declare that no
foreign prince, person, prelate, state or potentate hath or ought
to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence or
authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm. So
help me God.
Upon which their said Majesties did accept the crown and royal
dignity of the kingdoms of England, France and Ireland, and the
dominions thereunto belonging, according to the resolution and
desire of the said Lords and Commons contained in the said
declaration. And thereupon their Majesties were pleased that the
said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons, being the two
Houses of Parliament, should continue to sit, and with their
Majesties' royal concurrence make effectual provision for the
settlement of the religion, laws and liberties of this kingdom,
so that the same for the future might not be in danger again of
being subverted, to which the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal
and Commons did agree, and proceed to act accordingly. Now in
pursuance of the premises the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal
and Commons in Parliament assembled, for the ratifying,
confirming and establishing the said declaration and the
articles, clauses, matters and things therein contained by the
force of law made in due form by authority of Parliament, do pray
that it may be declared and enacted that all and singular the
rights and liberties asserted and claimed in the said declaration
are the true, ancient and indubitable rights and liberties of the
people of this kingdom, and so shall be esteemed, allowed,
adjudged, deemed and taken to be; and that all and every the
particulars aforesaid shall be firmly and strictly holden and
observed as they are expressed in the said declaration, and all
officers and ministers whatsoever shall serve their Majesties and
their successors according to the same in all time to come. And
the said Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons, seriously
considering how it hath pleased Almighty God in his marvellous
providence and merciful goodness to this nation to provide and
preserve their said Majesties' royal persons most happily to
reign over us upon the throne of their ancestors, for which they
render unto him from the bottom of their hearts their humblest
thanks and praises, do truly, firmly, assuredly and in the
sincerity of their hearts think, and do hereby recognize,
acknowledge and declare, that King James the Second having
abdicated the government, and their Majesties having accepted the
crown and royal dignity as aforesaid, their said Majesties did
become, were, are and of right ought to be by the laws of this
realm our sovereign liege lord and lady, king and queen of
England, France and Ireland and the dominions thereunto
belonging, in and to whose princely persons the royal state,
crown and dignity of the said realms with all honours, styles,
titles, regalities, prerogatives, powers, jurisdictions and
authorities to the same belonging and appertaining are most
fully, rightfully and entirely invested and incorporated, united
and annexed. And for preventing all questions and divisions in
this realm by reason of any pretended titles to the crown, and
for preserving a certainty in the succession thereof, in and upon
which the unity, peace, tranquility and safety of this nation
doth under God wholly consist and depend, the said Lords
Spiritual and Temporal and Commons do beseech their Majesties
that it may be enacted, established and declared, that the crown
and regal government of the said kingdoms and dominions, with all
and singular the premises thereunto belonging and appertaining,
shall be and continue to their said Majesties and the survivor of
them during their lives and the life of the survivor of them, and
that the entire, perfect and full exercise of the regal power and
government be only in and executed by his Majesty in the names of
both their Majesties during their joint lives; and after their
deceases the said crown and premises shall be and remain to the
heirs of the body of her Majesty, and for default of such issue
to her Royal Highness the Princess Anne of Denmark and the heirs
of the body of his said Majesty; and thereunto the said Lords
Spiritual and Temporal and Commons do in the name of all the
people aforesaid most humbly and faithfully submit themselves,
their heirs and posterities for ever, and do faithfully promise
that they will stand to, maintain and defend their said
Majesties, and also the limitation and succession of the crown
herein specified and contained, to the utmost of their powers
with their lives and estates against all persons whatsoever that
shall attempt anything to the contrary. And whereas it hath been
found by experience that it is inconsistent with the safety and
welfare of this Protestant kingdom to be governed by a popish
prince, or by any king or queen marrying a papist, the said Lords
Spiritual and Temporal and Commons do further pray that it may be
enacted, that all and every person and persons that is, are or
shall be reconciled to or shall hold communion with the see or
Church of Rome, or shall profess the popish religion, or shall
marry a papist, shall be excluded and be for ever incapable to
inherit, possess or enjoy the crown and government of this realm
and Ireland and the dominions thereunto belonging or any part of
the same, or to have, use or exercise any regal power, authority
or jurisdiction within the same; and in all and every such case
or cases the people of these realms shall be and are hereby
absolved of their allegiance; and the said crown and government
shall from time to time descend to and be enjoyed by such person
or persons being Protestants as should have inherited and enjoyed
the same in case the said person or persons so reconciled,
holding communion or professing or marrying as aforesaid were
naturally dead; and that every king and queen of this realm who
at any time hereafter shall come to and succeed in the imperial
crown of this kingdom shall on the first day of the meeting of
the first Parliament next after his or her coming to the crown,
sitting in his or her throne in the House of Peers in the
presence of the Lords and Commons therein assembled, or at his or
her coronation before such person or persons who shall administer
the coronation oath to him or her at the time of his or her
taking the said oath (which shall first happen), make, subscribe
and audibly repeat the declaration mentioned in the statute made
in the thirtieth year of the reign of King Charles the Second
entitled, _An Act for the more effectual preserving the king's
person and government by disabling papists from sitting in either
House of Parliament._ But if it shall happen that such king or
queen upon his or her succession to the crown of this realm shall
be under the age of twelve years, then every such king or queen
shall make, subscribe and audibly repeat the same declaration at
his or her coronation or the first day of the meeting of the
first Parliament as aforesaid which shall first happen after such
king or queen shall have attained the said age of twelve years.
All which their Majesties are contented and pleased shall be
declared, enacted and established by authority of this present
Parliament, and shall stand, remain and be the law of this realm
for ever; and the same are by their said Majesties, by and with
the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and
Commons in Parliament assembled and by the authority of the same,
declared, enacted and established accordingly.
II. And be it further declared and enacted by the authority
aforesaid, that from and after this present session of Parliament
no dispensation by _non obstante_ of or to any statute or any
part thereof shall be allowed, but that the same shall be held
void and of no effect, except a dispensation be allowed of in
such statute, and except in such cases as shall be specially
provided for by one or more bill or bills to be passed during
this present session of Parliament.
III. Provided that no charter or grant or pardon granted before
the three and twentieth day of October in the year of our Lord
one thousand six hundred eighty-nine shall be any ways impeached
or invalidated by this Act, but that the same shall be and remain
of the same force and effect in law and no other than as if this
Act had never been made.
