The Glorious Revolution occurred in 1689 and was a shift of political power from the British Monarchy to Parliament. The Monarchy remains the central focus of the government, but Parliament assume much of the power of the finances and the ability to pass laws.
The Parliament emerged victorious in the English Civil War against King Charles I. The conflict, which lasted from 1642 to 1651, ultimately led to the execution of Charles I in 1649 and the establishment of the Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell. This marked a significant shift in power from the monarchy to Parliament in England.
England is ruled using a constitutional monarchy. This means that there is a king and queen who do have some power, but most of the power comes through the people by means of Parliament.
Charles closed Parliament because they refused to help him and give him the money he needed and they were gaining to much power. The parliament had a list of demands to get more power off the King. The kings anger at the Parliament was, one of the main triggers of the Civil War. Many major demands consisting of the King to not make any important decisions in the name of religion, country or money without the Parliament approval. This made the King furious thus closing the Parliament was his only choice.
After King James II was ousted in the Glorious Revolution of 1688, William of Orange, who became William III of England, played a crucial role in restoring Parliament. Once he accepted the throne alongside his wife, Mary II, he acknowledged the importance of parliamentary governance, leading to the establishment of constitutional monarchy. This event marked a significant shift in power, enhancing Parliament's authority over the monarchy.
the monarchy's power was limited to what it could and couldn't do. The colonists could then decide who the monarchy was by electing them.
The Magna Carta of 1215 marked the beginning of the shift in power from the monarchy to the English Parliament, as it established the principle that the king was subject to the law. Over the centuries, Parliament gained more authority, particularly after the English Civil War (1642-1651), which pitted Parliament against King Charles I, culminating in the execution of the king. The Glorious Revolution of 1688 further solidified this shift by establishing constitutional monarchy, where William and Mary accepted the Bill of Rights, limiting royal power and affirming Parliament's authority. This transition set the stage for the development of a parliamentary democracy in England.
The reason was mainly because the King had most of the power in that time. Unlike today, where Parliament would have most of the power with the king as the figurehead, Parliament was only an advisory body.
In 1628 Parliament decided that the king should not have all the power. They made it so that The king would have to go to the Parliament and get their permission before taxing. This gave Parliament a shared power with the king after about 1640, which was after Charles I had decided to make it impossible for Parliament to meet therefore giving him all the power between 1629 to 1640.
