Who did the English parliament want to rule instead of James II?

The English Parliament wanted William of Orange and his wife Mary II to rule instead of James II. This desire stemmed from concerns over James II's Catholicism and his perceived attempts to increase royal power. In 1688, William and Mary were invited to invade England, leading to the Glorious Revolution, which ultimately resulted in their ascension to the throne. Their reign marked the establishment of constitutional monarchy and the limits of royal authority.
