How did the Glorious Revolution change the political landscape of England? This book examines the Glorious Revolution of 1688, in which King James II of England was deposed and replaced by William of Orange, marking a pivotal moment in the development of constitutional monarchy in England. The narrative explores the causes of the revolution, including James II’s attempts to expand royal power, his Catholicism, and fears of a return to absolute monarchy. It discusses the events leading to William’s invasion and the subsequent Bill of Rights, which established limits on royal authority and guaranteed certain rights to Parliament and individuals. By analyzing the long-term consequences of the Glorious Revolution, the book underscores how it contributed to the rise of parliamentary sovereignty, the protection of civil liberties, and the foundation of modern democratic governance.
