glorious revolution
The Glorious Revolution took place in 1688, when controversy between the kings position and the favored position of parliament, caused William of Orange to take the throne from King James II. The result of this act brought a permanent realignment of power within the English constitution. This revolution lasted for twenty-eight years from 1688-1689, although there had been previous struggles between parliament and the king before the actual revolution. This revolution is justified because the ends do justify the means; there was hardly any killing and the results of the revolution overall improved the English economy due to the greater credibility that the constitutional monarchy had over the autocratic monarchy.
The political changes that occurred when William the Orange took over the throne consisted of: Replacing the autocratic monarchy with a constitutional monarchy, the gradual passing of power from the king to parliament, and the establishment of the capitalist system in England.
Economically not very many things changed during the Glorious Revolution. But there were a few very important changes that took place, such as the Industrial Revolution, and the continuous expansion of Britain colonies in Asia, Africa and North America, which eventually led to social discontent in small countries such as Scotland, Ireland, and America.
The social fluctuations that took place during this revolution consisted of the loss of power with the old aristocratic class, and the economical rise of the urban middle class/bourgeoisie, which economized and obtained inordinate wealth. And they became the backbone of the nation.
To begin I would like to point out five key elements that basically summarize the revolution. These five elements consist of; the fear of Catholic tyranny, the rebellion and revolt, the Dutch invasion, the revolution, and the consequences.
The fear of the Catholic tyranny was basically
