Why was the Glorious Revolution in England unusual in comparison to political developments in France, Spain, and Russia? While the French, Spanish, and Russian monarchies were becoming more absolute, the Glorious Revolution created a limited monarchy. The Glorious Revolution is the only instance in which the line of succession of a monarchy was altered by warfare. Unlike most revolutions, one monarch willingly ceded power to another monarch. The Glorious Revolution resulted in an elected republic, unique in Europe at the time.

Answer:

While the French, Spanish, and Russian monarchies were becoming more absolute, the Glorious Revolution created a limited monarchy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Glorious Revolution was the overthrow of Jacob II in 1688 by a union of Parliamentarians and the Dutch Estatúder Guillermo de Orange. Sometimes it is also called the Invariant Revolution, although there were combats and loss of human lives in Ireland and Scotland. The Revolution is strongly associated with the events of the Nine Years War of Continental Europe, and can be seen as the last invasion. with success from England. It can be argued that with the overthrow of James the English modern parliamentary democracy began: the monarch would never again have absolute power, and the Bill of Rights would become one of the most important documents of Great Britain. The deposition of the Catholic monarch James II ended any opportunity for Catholicism to be restored in England; and it also led to the tolerance of non-conformist Protestants.
