Question

which best describes the glorious revolution?
the glorious revolution was a nonviolent exchange of authority.
the glorious revolution took away rights from the american colonists.
the glorious revolution required kings to obey the same laws as citizens.
the glorious revolution made parliament the only ruling body of england.

Explanation:

The Glorious Revolution in 1688 - 1689 was a non - violent (or relatively bloodless) event. King James II was ousted, and William III and Mary II were invited to take the throne. It was a transfer of power (authority) without large - scale violence.

• The second option is incorrect as it was about the power in England, not related to taking rights from American colonists.
• The third option “required kings to obey the same laws as citizens” is more of a long - term consequence of the constitutional changes (like the Bill of Rights) rather than the most direct description of the event itself.
• The fourth option “made Parliament the only ruling body” is an over - statement. While Parliament's power was enhanced, the monarchy still existed (constitutional monarchy was established).

Answer:

The Glorious Revolution was a nonviolent exchange of authority.
