| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: English Revolution of 1688 |
 | | The execution of Monmouth (July, 1685) made the Revolution possible, for it led to the Whig party accepting William of Orange as the natural champion of Protestantism against the attempts of James. | | | A Convention Parliament met on 22 January, 1689, declared that James "having withdrawn himself out of the kingdom, had abdicated the government, and that the throne was thereby vacant", and "that experience had shown it to be inconsistent with the safety and welfare of this Protestant kingdom to be governed by a Popish Prince". | | | The crown was offered to William and Mary, who accepted the Declaration of Right, which laid down the principles of the constitution with regard to the dispensing power, the liberties of Parliament, and other matters. |

| | FC.96 An overview of the English Revolution |
| | This time, Britain would resolve its cycle of conflicts in what is known as the Glorious Revolution (1688) This established a constitutional monarchy where the law is above the king, not the other way around as often happened in absolute monarchies. | | | First of all, it would lead to the political triumph of the rich middle class and nobles in Parliament which had the sole right to grant taxes for one year at a time, thus forcing the king to call Parliament each year if he wanted taxes. | | | Also, in order to keep the king from packing Parliament with his own men for an extended period of time, Parliamentary elections were to be held every two years. |

| | The English Revolution 1640 by Christopher Hill |
| | After 1701 subordination of judges to Parliament was a point of the Constitution: the gentry dominated local government as justices of the Peace. | | | The Navigation Act was renewed by Charles II& Government and became the backbone of English policy, the means by which the English merchants monopolised the wealth of the colonies. | | | The “Independent” gentry &; Oliver Cromwell& class – had been the spearhead of the revolution because they wanted to abolish the monopoly of social and political privileges attached to feudal landholding and to extend them to the advantage of their own class. |

| | By this act, Parliament asserted its supremacy over the King, and became clearly recognized in England as the supreme power in a Constitutional Monarchy. | | | When James began to follow a policy of arbitrary monarchical power, and prepared to raise his son, the heir to the throne, as a Catholic, the Parliament acted against him. | | | The English political elite held the monarchy in high regard, and through the restoration, returned to the principle of inheritance as a basis of legitimacy. |

| | For Guizot, English history ends with the consolidation of the constitutional monarchy. | | | And whereas the French Revolution was to revive the old Estates General that had quietly died since Henry IV and Louis XIV, the English Revolution, on the contrary, could show no comparable classical-conservative element. | | | Regarding the statement that the "development and struggle for parliamentary government" became a major concern, one may recall the incidents of corruption under the Walpole Ministry, which, indeed, resemble very closely the scandals that became daily events under M. Guizot. |

| | Criticism: Ehud's Dagger: Class Struggle in the English Revolution - Book Review |
| | It is as much a polemical attack on strands in contemporary scholarship as an account of radical action in the English Revolution, for Holstun demands readers think beyond the familiar oppositions: Roundheads vs. Royalsts; Puritans vs. Bishops; Parliament vs. King. | | | As one of its stars, Gerard Winstanley, put it, "No priest, no king; no king, no judge; no judge, no landlord; no landlord, no priest" (410), an utterly radical extension of James Stuart's "No bishop, no king" rejoinder to calls for ecclesiastical reform. | | | For those who reject these theses, or who did so years ago, when Marxist accounts of the English Revolution went out of favor, the book demonstrates that the history of popular collective praxis is a viable method, preferable to other explanatory models, specifically new historicism and revisionism. |
