Question

what was so \glorious\ about the glorious revolution?
○ it set a precedent for monarchs sharing power with parliament.
○ it meant that france and spain would never again challenge england.
○ it did away with the constitutional monarchy.
○ it meant that the king and queen could be members of any religious group.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The Glorious Revolution (1688 - 1689) led to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy in England, where the monarch (William and Mary) agreed to share power with Parliament (e.g., through the Bill of Rights). This set a precedent for limited monarchical power and parliamentary authority.
• Option 2: The Glorious Revolution did not eliminate challenges from France and Spain to England; conflicts with these nations continued.
• Option 3: The Glorious Revolution established, not abolished, the constitutional monarchy by defining the power balance between the monarch and Parliament.
• Option 4: The Act of Settlement and other laws restricted the monarch's religion (to Protestantism), so they could not be of any religious group.

Answer:

A. It set a precedent for monarchs sharing power with Parliament.
