What was the Glorious Revolution?
The Glorious Revolution was the English people's revolt against the unreasonable demands of an unreasonable king. James II came to the throne of England, Ireland, and Scotland (his title as King of Scotland was James VII) with expectations that were entirely unreasonable. He had been born and raised in France, where the religion was Catholicism, and the king held absolute power over the entire country. However, in England, all manner of religions were tolerated, and the king was expected to make decisions with and submit to Parliament. When James II entered the scene, he decided to go on a social reform. He started to throw his weight as king around. He declared the official religion to be Catholicism, and acted as though Parliament were nothing. This angered the people and Parliament. Soon, although the country was split into two political parties, the Whigs and the Tories, both were united against James II. The only support he had was from his close friends. The Glorious Revolution refers to the bloodless eviction of this king from his office by his own son-in-law. The actions of James II turned the office of king into a political figurehead in England, his every action directed by Parliament. The reason that James II failed and the Glorious Revolution took place was that James II was out of touch with reality, swamped in French ideas, and thrown into a very different English Government.
