Who was the queen before elizabeth2?

The monarch before Queen Elizabeth II was King George VI (1936-1952). The last Queen before Elizabeth II was Queen Victoria (1837-1901) and the first Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603) was of England not the United Kingdom. Because there has never been a Queen Elizabeth of Scotland it has been argued she should be titled Queen Elizabeth I in Scotland and II in England. Given the Crowns are joined it has been decided to name whichever is the highest of either country.

Do kings and queens make the laws in a monarchy?

It depends on the nature of the monarchy.

In Absolute Monarchies (like Saudi Arabia or Oman), the royalty do make the laws. In a Constitutional Monarchy with a strong monarch (like Morocco or Jordan), the royalty have a strong hand in law creation, but the legislature plays a significant role in finessing of the legislation. In a Constitutional Monarchy with a weak monarch (like the United Kingdom or Spain), the royalty are largely absent or prohibited from law promulgation.

What was the Glorious Revolution?

The Glorious Revolution was the English people's revolt against the unreasonable demands of an unreasonable king.

James II came to the throne of England, Ireland, and Scotland (his title as King of Scotland was James VII) with expectations that were entirely unreasonable. He had been born and raised in France, where the religion was Catholicism, and the king held absolute power over the entire country. However, in England, all manner of religions were tolerated, and the king was expected to make decisions with and submit to Parliament. When James II entered the scene, he decided to go on a social reform. He started to throw his weight as king around. He declared the official religion to be Catholicism, and acted as though Parliament were nothing. This angered the people and Parliament. Soon, although the country was split into two political parties, the Whigs and the Tories, both were united against James II. The only support he had was from his close friends. The Glorious Revolution refers to the bloodless eviction of this king from his office by his own son-in-law. The actions of James II turned the office of king into a political figurehead in England, his every action directed by Parliament.

The reason that James II failed and the Glorious Revolution took place was that James II was out of touch with reality, swamped in French ideas, and thrown into a very different English Government.
