Responses to Absolutism People grew tired of Absolute Monarchs so they began to try and limit their power. In England the Magna Carta and then the English Bill of Rights created a "Limited Monarchy". Parliament was created to balance out power in the British government. This was an important step toward our modern world which is so dominated by democracy (there aren't many kings left anymore). In England they even went so far as to execute (cut off his head) King Charles I - in public!
