The English general election, 1679 (March) returned a majority of members in favour of the Exclusion Bill. This parliament was called the Habeas Corpus Parliament after the Habeas Corpus Act, which it enacted in May, 1679. It was dissolved while in recess on 12 July 1679. Many members did not attend the parliament at all, so their view about Exclusion is unknown.
