sep 16, 1689 - Glorious Revolution and Bill of Rights - End of Restoration Period
Description:
The English Bill of Rights was signed, which gave individuals a vast increase in liberties. Additionally, the Catholic church lost a lot of power in England. King James II lived out the remainder of his days in France, and it was now illegal for a Catholic to become king of England. The Glorious Revolution - A relatively peaceful transfer of power - resulted in the replacement of King James II with William and Mary, thus marking the end of the Restoration Period.
