How did English policies toward the colonies change after the glorious revolution?

Answer 1

British policy changed toward the colonies during this time period when the British imposed additional revenues from the colonies to help pay for the expense of the Seven Years' War. The Sugar Act of 1764 and the Stamp Act of 1765 caused the colonist to seek independence from England.

Answer 2

After accepting the throne, William and Mary agreed in 1689 to uphold the English Bill of Rights. This was an agreement to respect the rights of English citizens and of Parliament. Under it, the king or queen could not cancel laws or impose taxes unless Parliament agreed. Free elections and frequent meetings of Parliament must be held. Excessive fines and cruel punishments were forbidden. People had the right to complain to the king or queen in Parliament without being arrested.

Answer 3

The Glorious Revolution had two main effects in the Thirteen Colonies.

1) It led to the collapse of the Dominion of New England, which was a consolidated and unpopular governate that covered most of the New England and Middle Colonies. Since the governor was appointed by former King James II, his overthrow meant that colonists would move quickly to overthrow the unpopular governate and restore the traditional colonies. The revolt was lead by the Puritans who opposed King James II's Catholicism the most strongly.

2) The Province of Maryland, which had a historically Catholic-led government was overthrown by the Protest Uprising in 1689. This resulted in inequality between Catholics and Protestants (with Protestants being in power) up to the signing of the US Constitution, granting equality to all religions.

Answer 4

The Glorious Revolution established a lot of very important rights for Parliament and much diminished the almost absolute power of the king of England.

Before that, the king had the final word over war and peace, budget and taxation and he could convene or dismiss Parliament at will. After the Glorious Revolution, no new taxes could be raised without the consent of Parliament, dismissing it became 'illegal', no standing army could be maintained by the king without Parliament's consent unless there was war, and Parliament could convene as long and often as it wished.

Basically, from now on the King could not effectively rule unless he had a Paliamentary majority agreeing with his actions.

Answer 5

After the Glorious Revolution of 1688 CE, the English government adopted a Bill of Rights and a Constitutional Monarchy. This meant that the monarch no longer had absolute power.

Answer 6

William and Mary became the constitutional monarchs of protestant England.
