"According to the history of England Charles II was restored to the |English throne in 1671."
Never suggested that he wasn't. In fact I didn't mention him. Neither Charles II nor his brother James VII&II would be described as Constitutional Monarchs. Both believed in their divine right to rule as they wished. The British constitutional monarchy is said to commence with the coming to the throne of William and Mary though it is still way off what we'd regard constitutional monarchy as.
The link above is from the Monarchy's website and states in regard to 1688 "from this time onwards the Bill Of Rights proved to be of fundamental importance to the evolution of Constitutional Monarchy".
That of course is in regard to England. James fled the English throne but in Scotland it was different. Once he lost his English power base the Scots simply held a parliament and stripped him of the Scottish throne branding him a traitor and accusing him of despotism. As per in the Claim Of Right of 1689. In between all the anti-Catholic rhetoric is the bits about kings not being able to rule without abiding by the law of the country or taking and acting upon their oaths.
