Editing Bill of Rights 1689 (section)

===Ireland===
The application of the Bill of Rights to the [[Kingdom of Ireland]] was uncertain. While the English Parliament sometimes passed acts relating to Ireland, the [[Irish Patriot Party]] regarded this as illegitimate, and others felt that English acts only extended to Ireland when explicitly stated to do so, which was not the case for the Bill of Rights. The [[Crown of Ireland Act 1542]] meant the Bill's changes to the royal succession extended to Ireland. [[Bill (law)|Bill]]s modelled on the Bill of Rights were introduced in the [[Parliament of Ireland]] in 1695 and 1697 but not enacted. After the [[Acts of Union 1800]], provisions relating to the rights of Parliament implicitly extended to Ireland, but provisions relating to the rights of the individual were a grey area. Some jurists regarded the bill not as [[positive law]] but as [[declaratory law|declaratory]] of the [[common law]], and as such applicable to Ireland.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Osborough |first1=W.

The [[Constitution of the Irish Free State]], and the subsequent [[Constitution of Ireland]], carry over laws in force in the former [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland]] to the extent they were not repugnant to those constitutions. The Bill of Rights was not referred to in subsequent Irish legislation<ref>{{cite web |date=26 February 2020 |title=Pre-1922 Legislation: Statutes of England Affected: 1688 |url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/isbc/esa1688.html |access-date=11 March 2020 |website=Irish Statute Book}}</ref> until the [[Statute Law Revision Act 2007]], which retained it,<ref>Statute Law Revision Act 2007 [http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2007/act/28/section/2/enacted/en/html#sec2 §2(2)(a)] and [http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2007/act/28/schedule/1/enacted/en/html#sched1-part2 Schedule 1 Part 2]</ref> changed its short title to "Bill of Rights 1688"{{refn|name=shorttitle|group="nb"}} and repealed most of section 1 (the preamble) as being religiously discriminatory, which included:<ref>[http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2007/act/28/section/5/enacted/en/html Statute Law Revision Act 2007 §5(a)]</ref><ref>Statute Law Revision Act 2007 [http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2007/act/28/section/2/enacted/en/html#sec2 §2(3)]; {{cite web |last1=Kitt |first1=Tom |author-link=Tom Kitt (politician) |date=14 February 2007 |title=Statute Law Revision Bill 2007: Committee Stage |url=https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/debate/seanad/2007-02-14/speech/355/ |access-date=11 March 2020 |website=Seanad Éireann (22nd Seanad) Debates |publisher=Oireachtas |page=c.187 |language=en-ie |no-pp=y |volume=186}}</ref> all words down to "Upon which Letters Elections having been accordingly made"; Article 7, which allowed Protestants to bear arms; and all words from "And they doe Claime Demand and Insist".
