Revolutions :: essays research papers

     One of the six revolutionsthat I go studied independently is the brilliant Revolution. 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 second endure son of Charles I, becameking of England in 1685. James crushed two revolts upon his new found land.One, controlled by his nephew, James Scott, duke of Monmouth, and the othercontrolled by Archibald Campbell, ninth earl of Argyll. The mint were nothappy with his performance handling these revolts. James had also end religiousrestrictions in 1687, which caused an increase religious tension. On June10, 1688, William of Orange, later to go William III, was asked to progress tothe throne of England, there by starting the beginning of the revolution. So, instantly Parliament and William of Orange and his wife Mary and the Catholicchurc h financial aid all the power 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 direct a conventionagain.     According to Crane Brintons "Course That Revolutions come out To Take",there is and 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 together to rule everyplace England successfully.None of the other 9 happened during this revolution.     I dont reckon thatthe Glorious Revolution was a revolution at all. First off, the only two thingsthat the people didnt like were that there was a slew of religious tensionand that they thought James was a bad ruler because he was trying to pro tectthe country. I surely hope that peak Clinton would try to protect us fromany outside enemies that tried to take over The United States.
