In 1689, King William III and Queen Mary II of England accepted the throne following the Glorious Revolution, which resulted in the ousting of King James II. Their reign marked the establishment of constitutional monarchy, as they agreed to the Bill of Rights, which limited royal power and affirmed parliamentary sovereignty. This laid the groundwork for modern democracy in England. Their rule also emphasized religious tolerance, particularly towards Protestant dissenters.
