The Glorious Revolution of 1688 was significant for parliamentary democracy in England as it established the principles that would govern the relationship between the monarchy and Parliament. The overthrow of King James II and the ascension of William and Mary marked a shift toward constitutional monarchy, whereby the powers of the monarchy were limited by law. The Bill of Rights 1689 enshrined individual liberties and clarified the rights of Parliament, reinforcing the notion of parliamentary sovereignty. This revolution effectively minimized royal authority, laid the groundwork for modern democracy, and set a precedent for future governance based on popular consent and the rule of law in England. ====END----
