The Glorious Revolution in England was marked by the event of 1688, which saw the overthrow of King James II in favor of William of Orange and his wife Mary. The revolution was significant because it established constitutional monarchy in England, putting limits on royal power while enhancing parliamentary authority. The bloodless nature of the revolution earned it the title "Glorious." It resulted in the establishment of the Bill of Rights in 1689, which enshrined individual liberties and reinforced the principle that the monarchy should govern in accordance with parliamentary law, shaping modern British democracy.
