Key events that led to the Glorious Revolution of 1688 include:
Religious Tensions: King James II was a Catholic. He pushed for Catholic beliefs, which made Protestants very worried.
Political Struggles: King James tried to take more control for himself, and this made Parliament (the group that helps make laws) unhappy.
The Birth of a Catholic Heir: In 1688, King James had a baby boy. This caused worry that there would be a long line of Catholic rulers.
Invitation to William of Orange: Leaders who were Protestant asked William of Orange to come and take over. They wanted to bring back Protestant rule.
All these events helped change Britain into a constitutional monarchy, which means that the king's power was limited by laws.
