→What is the author's hypothesis?
Parliament was able to make this commitment credible by:
* Credibly showing its ability to remove the monarch if necessary (which was shown by the Glorious Revolution).
* In exchange for its new power, putting the government on more secure financial footing by agreeing to higher taxes. This removed a major driver of arbitrary violations of property rights.
