Parliament overthrew King James II of England primarily due to his attempts to promote Catholicism and centralize power, which alarmed many Protestant factions and contributed to fears of a return to absolute monarchy. His policies, including the appointment of Catholics to high office and the issuance of the Declaration of Indulgence, undermined the Protestant establishment and alienated key political leaders. The situation escalated when William of Orange was invited to invade England, leading to James's flight and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. This event, known as the Glorious Revolution of 1688, ultimately solidified parliamentary sovereignty over royal authority.
