The critical outcome of the **Glorious Revolution** in 1688 was the establishment of constitutional monarchy in England. With the overthrow of King James II, William of Orange and Mary II accepted the Bill of Rights, which limited the powers of the monarchy and affirmed parliamentary supremacy. This shift ensured greater civil liberties and a legal framework that protected individual rights against governmental overreach. It also represented a victory for Protestantism over Catholicism in England and contributed to the development of modern democratic principles that influenced political thought in the West.
