The outcome of the Glorious Revolution in England, which occurred in 1688, was the overthrow of King James II and the ascension of William of Orange and his wife, Mary II, to the throne. This event effectively established parliamentary supremacy and curtailed the powers of the monarchy. It is significant because it set a precedent for constitutional monarchy in England and laid the foundation for modern democracy. The Bill of Rights, enacted in 1689, further confirmed the rights of Parliament and citizens, ensuring key freedoms such as the right to bear arms and the prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment, fundamentally shaping British governance.
