King James II took power from Parliament by asserting royal prerogative and bypassing parliamentary authority. He appointed Catholic officials to key government positions, undermining the Protestant establishment and provoking fears of a Catholic absolutist regime. Additionally, he attempted to suspend laws and promote religious tolerance without parliamentary consent, further eroding their power. His actions ultimately led to widespread opposition and the Glorious Revolution, which resulted in his ousting.
