The goals of the glorious revolution were:

depose the monarch James II raise in her place her firstborn, Princess Mary promote political and religious reform create the English Bill of Rights.

Explanation:

The Glorious Revolution took place in England in 1688. It was a movement driven by Parliament and Prince William of Orange against the protection of King James II to the Catholic religion. The Glorious Revolution is considered the end of the Puritan Revolution.

The English lived a period of discontent. Since the rise to the throne of James II in 1685, England has been ruled by a Catholic king who advocated absolutism. The problem is that Anglicanism and other variations of the Protestant religion were already consolidated in England.

King James II valued Catholicism over Protestantism because it considered it a false religion. Thus, in a privileged position, he made positions of the kingdom as well as of the University of Oxford available to Catholic men. Catholics began to threaten Protestants, who feared that their belief would be persecuted. Likewise, those who had acquired property belonging to the Catholic Church feared losing it if Catholicism were restored.

William Orange, King James II's nephew and son-in-law, was Protestant, as was his wife, Princess Mary. True to their belief, they joined a group of Protestants to overthrow the English king and take the throne. Supported by an army, William Orange invaded England. King James II, in turn, still makes an attempt to stay on the throne, but is defeated at the Battle of Boyne in 1690. In this way he fled to France, where he was welcomed by his French and Catholic relatives. After the escape of James II, William and Mary were crowned kings of England and later of Scotland.

The Glorious Revolution brought about several changes in England:

The Anglican Church has established itself as the official state church; Catholics were removed from public life; Other forms of Protestantism would not be tolerated.

Likewise, a new form of government has emerged - the so-called parliamentary monarchy to the detriment of absolutism.

In this way, the Bills of Rights is approved, a document that guarantees:

Parliament's power against the sovereign, veto to Catholics to ascend to the throne and privileged positions.

The three steps before modern english were indo-european, germanic, and old english. as peoples moved around the eurasian continent, their languages changed. throughout the ages, the languages became more specialized. as english has many germanic influences, it is easy to see how this was one of the forebears. also, old english was one of the main ancestors of the modern language, spoken in the 5th through about the 13th centuries.
