Though exact data for 2012 is not available, based on trends from surrounding years, we can estimate that the population of U.S. residents over 60 in 2012 was likely between 47 and 70 million, out of a total population of 314 million.
In 2012, demographically, the U.S. population was experiencing a significant shift in the aging population. While we do not have specific data for the year 2012, we can estimate the population over the age of 60 based on the data from other years. By 2010, about 15 percent of the total population was over 65 years old, and by 2020, 22% of the U.S. population was 60 years old or older, marking an increase in the aging population, also referred to as "the graying of America".
Hence, given the increase in the elderly population each year, the percentage of the U.S. population over the age of 60 in 2012 would be somewhere between 15% (from 2010) and 22% (from 2020). Using these percentages as an approximate guide and given that the U.S. population in 2012 was about 314 million, it can be inferred that the number of people over the age of 60 was likely in the range of 47 million to 70 million.

D. It said that a king needed Parliament’s permission to set aside laws, maintain an army in peacetime, or tax people.
The English Bill of Rights (1689) was a charter drafted by the Parliament and directed to the King and Queen of the time (William III and Mary II). Its aim was to establish certain rights to the people, the parliament and the monarch, aiming to limit the government's power.
In general, the Bill of Rights limited the powers of the King and Queen to the law, guaranteed people certain individual rights and gave more power to the Parliament in the reign's decisions, for example, the king now needed the Parliament's consent to set aside laws, maintain an army in peacetime and collect taxes.
