The Glorious Revolution of 1688 resulted in a constitutional monarchy in England, significantly limiting the powers of the monarchy. King James II was deposed in favor of William III and Mary II, who accepted the throne under the Bill of Rights in 1689. This set foundational principles for democracy by establishing that the monarch could not rule without Parliament's consent. This revolution also reinforced the notion of parliamentary sovereignty, solidified the separation of powers, and laid the groundwork for future democratic governance, reshaping the relationship between the monarchy and its subjects.
