Parliamentary forces eventually won the war, executed the king, and briefly ruled England.

The English Bill of Rights:

• upheld habeas corpus.
• required that Parliament meet regularly.

The legal rights that Englishmen had won over the centuries led the colonists to expect a voice in their government.
By 1760, every British colony in North America had a legislature of some kind, although the legislatures sometimes clashed with the colonial governors appointed by the king.
