Explanation

The Glorious Revolution removed King James II and replaced him with William and Mary, showing that a ruler could be deposed when people believed he governed unjustly. This helped American colonists embrace the idea that they could overthrow an unjust government. The revolution did not establish religious freedom for everyone, nor did it support absolute royal power.
