Before the English Bill of Rights and the Glorious Revolution, England was primarily an absolute monarchy. King James II, who reigned until 1688, sought to strengthen royal authority and promote Catholicism, often clashing with Parliament and Protestant factions. This tension ultimately led to the Glorious Revolution, which established constitutional monarchy and limited the powers of the monarchy through the Bill of Rights in 1689.

The Glorious Revolution of 1688 was the result of the birth of James II's catholic son. The English people were protestant and did not want a catholic ruler. Therefore they invited James II's protestant daughter, Mary and her husband William of Orange to raid England and overthrow James II. When James II heard about the army marching towards him, he fled to France with his wife and son. As a result no blood was spilled and the revolution was named the Glorious Revolution.
