Answer:

Locke was influenced by a long English tradition of laws limiting the monarch's power. He approved of Parliament's checks on the king's power and of the English Bill of Rights, which strengthened Parliament as the representative of the people. Locke argued that monarchs did not have a divine right to rule.
