After the Glorious Revolution, the idea of divine right ended in England, and Parliament became the supreme legal body.

Explanation:

In the Glorious Revolution, which took place between 1688 and 1689, the opponents of royal absolutism faced the English Crown under the Stuarts. With the enforcement of the Bill of Rights, they created the basis for today's parliamentary system in the United Kingdom. Since the revolution, the king is no longer alone there, but only in connection with the Parliament, which is the bearer of state sovereignty.

The revolution ended the religious tolerance policy that King James II of England had pursued towards Catholics. While the Protestant dissenters were guaranteed freedom of belief with the Tolerance Act, Catholics were subject to discriminatory regulations for over a century after the revolution.
