Question 8 • MASTER COURSE United States History

Who came into power as a result of the Glorious Revolution?

Answer
A
King William and Queen Mary
B
King James II
C
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
D
Baron de Montesquieu

Explanation

The Glorious Revolution of 1688–1689 removed King James II from the English throne. Parliament then invited William of Orange and his wife Mary, James’s daughter, to rule jointly as King William III and Queen Mary II. Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Baron de Montesquieu were later Enlightenment thinkers, not rulers who came to power in the revolution.
