How did the glorious revolution prevent absolutism from terminating parliamentary government?
The parliament of England felt threatened that king James II had a catholic son with his catholic wife, and eventually England would be ruled by catholics, so they negotiated with William of Orange, who was a Protestant known all over the continent for his containment of catholic France. He accepted the offer of becoming king of England and came to rule England alongside his Protestant wife (James II's catholic daughter Mary). James II fled to France, which was a bloodless victory for William. This is called the Glorious revolution. Because William was invited by the Parliament, they had some authority over William and the Parliament remained a governing body in England.
