About this eBook

On August 28, 2019, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson asked Queen Elizabeth II to prorogue Parliament. She approved the request. The elaborate ritual of the queen granting the prime minister permission to do what he intended to do anyway demonstrates how the legacy of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 made the British Parliament, not the monarch, the ultimate source of power in government. But it was not always so.

Discover a plethora of topics such as

The Roundheads Behead a King

The Return of the Monarchy: Charles II

James, the Catholic King

The Dutch Invasion of England

Mary and William: Joint Sovereigns, One Ruler

And much more!

Explore the Glorious Revolution, the 1688 uprising that overthrew King James II and transformed England’s monarchy and government. This bloodless coup reshaped constitutional history and secured parliamentary power. Perfect for history enthusiasts and students of political change.
