Detailed explanation-1: -The Glorious Revolution (1688–89) permanently established Parliament as the ruling power of England-and, later, the United Kingdom-representing a shift from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Glorious Revolution was when William of Orange took the English throne from James II in 1688. The event brought a permanent realignment of power within the English constitution.
Detailed explanation-3: -After significant pressure from William, Parliament agreed to a joint monarchy, with William as king and James’s daughter, Mary, as queen. The two new rulers accepted more restrictions from Parliament than any previous monarchs, causing an unprecedented shift in the distribution of power throughout the British realm.
