Revolutions :: essays research papers

     One of the six revolutionsthat I have studied independently is the Glorious mutation. The GloriousRevolution took place in England during 1688 to 1689. James II and the Catholicchurch were in control of the land.     The old regime was James II, along withthe Catholic church. James II, the snatch surviving son of Charles I, becameking of England in 1685. James crushed two revolts upon his newly found land.One, controlled by his nephew, James Scott, duke of Monmouth, and the othercontrolled by Archibald Campbell, ninth earl of Argyll. The population were nothappy with his performance handling these revolts. James had also ended religiousrestrictions in 1687, which caused an increase religious tension. On June10, 1688, William of Orange, later to become William III, was asked to recedethe thr wholeness of England, there by starting the beginning of the revolution. So, now Parliament and William of Orange and his wife bloody shame and th e Catholicchurch help all the originator in England, being the moderates of the revolution.Seeing, as how there were no radicals, there could be no accession of them,nor could there be a reign of terror. Convalescence was reached when Maryand William signed the Declaration of Power. Also, therewas now a patternagain.     According to Crane Brintons "Course That Revolutions Seem To Take",there is only one situation that occurred in the Glorious Revolution. Revolutionariesgain power and seem united. This was shown by how William and Mary and Parliamentand the Catholic Church all joined up in concert to rule over England successfully.None of the other 9 happened during this revolution.     I dont believe thatthe Glorious Revolution was a revolution at all. premier off, the only two thingsthat the people didnt like were that there was a lot of religious tensionand that they thought James was a bad ruler because he was trying to protect the country. I surely hope that Bill Clinton would try to protect us fromany outside enemies that tried to take over The United States.
