One of the reasons why the Glorious Revolution in England was unusual in comparison to political developments in France, Spain, and Russia was because "While the French, Spanish, and Russian monarchies were becoming more absolute, the Glorious Revolution created a limited monarchy," since the main goal of the war was to bring more power to the people through Parliament.
