B
it made the colonies free from the rule of England.
C
it ended the rule of kings in England and created a democracy.
D
it took power away from Parliament and gave it to the king.

Explanation

The Glorious Revolution of 1688 showed that a ruler could be removed when people believed the government was unjust. This idea later influenced colonists’ arguments for resisting British authority. It did not free the colonies from England or end the monarchy; Parliament gained power relative to the king, not the other way around.
