Detailed explanation-1: -In Britain, the Glorious Revolution of 1688 led to a constitutional monarchy restricted by laws such as the Bill of Rights 1689 and the Act of Settlement 1701, although limits on the power of the monarch (’A Limited Monarchy’) are much older than that, as seen in our Magna Carta.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Glorious Revolution, also called “The Revolution of 1688” and “The Bloodless Revolution, ” took place from 1688 to 1689 in England. It involved the overthrow of the Catholic King James II, who was replaced by his Protestant daughter Mary and her Dutch husband, William of Orange.
