What marked the beginning of what is called ‘constitutional monarchy’?
Correct Answer: The laws passed after the Glorious Revolution
The Glorious Revolution of 1688 saw William III and Mary II invited to the throne, replacing the Catholic King James II.
The legislation that followed — particularly the Bill of Rights (1689) — established that the monarch could not govern without Parliament's consent. This was the beginning of constitutional monarchy in Britain, where the power of the Crown is limited by law.
