King James II offended the English Parliament by asserting his royal authority and promoting policies that undermined parliamentary power. His attempts to appoint Catholics to high office and his disregard for the Test Act, which required officeholders to be Protestant, alarmed many in Parliament. Additionally, his aggressive stance on religious tolerance for Catholics and his perceived autocratic rule led to widespread distrust and discontent among Parliamentarians, ultimately contributing to his downfall during the Glorious Revolution.
