The Glorious Revolution in England achieved the overthrow of King James II in 1688 and the installation of William III and Mary II as co-sovereigns. This revolution was largely bloodless and signified a shift in power from the monarchy to Parliament, emphasizing constitutional monarchy over absolute rule. The principles of the Glorious Revolution laid the groundwork for the establishment of the Bill of Rights in 1689, which limited the powers of the crown and safeguarded individual rights. This revolution is often seen as a foundational moment in the development of modern parliamentary democracy in England.
