Detailed explanation-1: -So the Glorious Revolution wasn’t so ‘glorious’ for the people who had no voice in the democratic process. And to take an even more extreme line, you could describe it as the successful invasion of Britain by a foreign power, motivated by the economic interests of the merchants of Amsterdam.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is agreed, mostly among Whig historians, that the overthrow of King James began a modern parliamentary democracy in England. The Glorious Revolution was brought about by English opposition to a Catholic monarchy, concerns over the King’s power, and the birth of James II’s son.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Glorious Revolution led to the establishment of an English nation that limited the power of the king and provided protections for English subjects.
