- It overthrew King James II, replacing him with William III of Orange and Mary II of England.
- A constitutional monarchy was established
- The Creation of the Bill of Rights of 1689
Explanation:
The Glorious Revolution (1688-1689) was a political event that saw the King James II of England being overthrown in a mostly bloodless revolution, being replaced by William III of Orange and Mary II of England. James II, himself a Catholic, had to face with strong anti-Catholic sentiments in the British isles. As the situation became more and more heated, his attempts to control it eroded his political legitimacy. William of Orange, the leader of the Dutch Republic and a Protestant, gathered a powerful fleet that invaded the British isles and marched on London. As the English army failed to put any resistance and even defected to the Protestant invaders, James II was forced to flee. A specially convened Parliament assembled in 1689 deposed James II and declared William III and Mary II the legitimate rulers England, Scotland and Ireland. Later that same year, the Parliament passed the Bill of Rights of 1689 which, among other things, signalled the transformation of the British crown from an absolute monarchy into a constitutional monarchy. Severely curtailing the power of the monarch, many of the most important decisions could no longer be taken by the monarch without Parliament's approval, like approving taxes, suspending laws, or summoning an army. With some modifications, the Bill of Rights is still in force in Britain and other countries part of the Commonwealth.

Explanation:
U.S. foreign policy toward Latin America in the 19th century initially focused on excluding or limiting the military and economic influence of European powers, territorial expansion, and encouraging American commerce. These objectives were expressed in the No Transfer Principle (1811) and the Monroe Doctrine (1823). American policy was unilateralist (not isolationist); it gradually became more aggressive and interventionist as the idea of Manifest Destiny contributed to wars and military conflicts against indigenous peoples, France, Britain, Spain, and Mexico in the Western Hemisphere. Expansionist sentiments and U.S. domestic politics inspired annexationist impulses and filibuster expeditions to Mexico, Cuba, and parts of Central America. Civil war in the United States put a temporary halt to interventionism and imperial dreams in Latin America. From the 1870s until the end of the century, U.S. policy intensified efforts to establish political and military hegemony in the Western Hemisphere, including periodic naval interventions in the Caribbean and Central America, reaching even to Brazil in the 1890s. By the end of the century Secretary of State Richard Olney added the Olney Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine (“Today the United States is practically sovereign on this continent and its fiat is law upon the subjects to which it confines its interposition . . .”), and President Theodore Roosevelt contributed his own corollary in 1904 (“in the Western Hemisphere the adherence of the United States to the Monroe Doctrine may force the United States, however reluctantly, in flagrant cases of wrongdoing or impotence, to exercise an international police power”). American policy toward Latin America, at the turn of the century, explicitly justified unilateral intervention, military occupation, and transformation of sovereign states into political and economic protectorates in order to defend U.S. economic interests and an expanding concept of national security.
