Answer:
Glorious Revolution, also called Revolution of 1688 or Bloodless Revolution, in English history, the events of 1688–89 that resulted in the deposition of James II and the accession of his daughter Mary II and her husband, William III, prince of Orange and stadholder of the United Provinces of the Netherlands.
Key results/ innovations were:
Ensuring the king ruled through the consent of a Parliament that was now enshrined in the constitution - Bill of Rights (1689). This meant the monarch was now constitutional. This should be linked to the Act of Settlement (1701), when the line of succession was broken and changed in favour of a Protestant heir.
Quite quickly, because William was away fighting so much Parliament was run by a de facto Cabinet. Over the next couple of decades this led Parliament to supplant the power of the monarch and it became sovereign.
Act of Toleration (1689), that provided religious toleration for a number of groups but not Catholics.
Freedom of the Press. The law restricting the press (the Licensing Act) was not renewed in 1695 and this allowed the press to scrutinise and discuss all political and economic issues.
Financial Revolution (1694 onwards). Which led to the creation of the Bank of England, a National Debt and other innovations - largely stolen and adapted from the Dutch - which financed war and allowed Britain to enhance its commercial development and colonial activity.
Act of Union (1707) between England and Scotland was a result of the Revolution and economic and insecurity caused by wars with the French.
The eventual defeat of the French after the Nine Years' War (1689–97) and War of the Spanish Succession (1702–14) saw Britain become a major European player in the Balance of Power. Alongside the commercial innovations this led to it becoming the world's leading power.
Internal tensions between the English and the Scots (Massacre at Glencoe) and the Irish (various battles and sieges). Numerous tensions continue to this day, especially in Northern Ireland.
Adapting many Dutch innovations and then weakening the Dutch as a rival power, before later taking many of their overseas colonies.
The Glorious Revolution is therefore hugely important for Britian and the world. And is also crucial for providing numerous political, economic and other theories that shaped the modern world and acted as a catalyst for the American Revolution.
