In the Glorious Revolution of 1688, Parliament asserted its authority by offering leadership to

Answer
A
the clergy.
B
the judicial branch.
C
powerful generals.
D
a new king and queen.

Explanation

After removing James II from power, Parliament offered the English crown to William of Orange and his wife, Mary. They became king and queen, with their acceptance tied to limits on royal authority. This showed Parliament asserting its role in choosing the monarch, so the correct choice is “a new king and queen.”
