3 The Glorious Revolution in America Changed the balance of power in England’s government. Parliament assumed greater control over the nation and its overseas territories. In 1685, King James II attempted to increase royal control by combining New York, New Jersey, and the New England colonies into the Dominion of New England. He was also appointing Catholics to positions of power & was seen to be favoring Catholicism even though he was the head of the church of England. Colonial governments were disbanded (Sir Edmond Andros) © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.2

4 The Glorious (and bloodless) Revolution…  1689 - Parliament invites James II Protestant daughter, Mary and her husband William to rule England  But…they must obey parliament’s wishes  They accept James II flees  He didn’t die so it was bloodless  Divine Right to Rule is DEAD!  Will & Mary sign the Bill of Rights to signal their “okay” We, William and Mary Of Orange Do hereby recognize Parliament as the Real power

5 OUTCOMES of the Glorious Revolution: Destroyed the idea or divine-right (absolute) monarchy in England The revolution established that the ultimate power in the state was divided between monarch and parliament and the monarch ruled with the consent of the governed A constitutional monarchy was formed with the making of the document known as the English Bill Of Rights No taxes raised or armies recruited without approval of Parliament No subject can be detained without due process King cannot suspend laws on his own Reality… is that the government is run by male property owners Exciting Time! “the rights of Englishmen!”
