Detailed explanation-1: -The term Glorious Revolution refers to the series of events in 1688‐89 which culminated in the exile of King James II and the accession to the throne of William and Mary. It has also been seen as a watershed in the development of the constitution and especially of the role of Parliament.
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: -Within 30 years of Charles II’s restoration to the throne in 1660, England was once again on the verge of civil war. In 1688 the country was invaded by a foreign army and its King fled, as the Crown was offered by Parliament to his own nephew and son-in-law. Yet these events are usually called the Glorious Revolution.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
