Government has to declare the EU unlawful under the English Bill of Rights 1689

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

The English Bill of Rights shows the EU to be unlawful.

“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."

Another quote from the English Bill of Rights 1689 means it can never by changed or overruled as is written in stone as part of England's constitutional law and so the EU should be declared unlawful in England.

"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"
