nov 13, 1685 - James Prorogued Parilment

Description:

James II prorogued (temporarily suspended) Parliament in November 1685 after facing criticism and resistance from Parliament regarding his efforts to place Catholics in positions of power, including the military. This led to further tensions between the king and Parliament, as well as a general dissatisfaction among the English population.

Proroguing Parliament what is it
Proroguing Parliament refers to the act of ending a session of Parliament, typically with a speech from the monarch or the sovereign's representative in Parliament, the Lord Chancellor. This brings all parliamentary business to a close, including debates, committee work, and voting, until the next session is called.
