- 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.

Modifications in social structure
Developments in technology and organization reshaped social structure. A recognizable peasantry continued to exist in western Europe, but it increasingly had to adapt to new methods. In many areas (most notably, the Netherlands and Denmark) a cooperative movement spread to allow peasants to market dairy goods and other specialties to the growing urban areas without abandoning individual landownership. Many peasants began to achieve new levels of education and to adopt innovations such as new crops, better seeds, and fertilizers; they also began to innovate politically, learning to press governments to protect their agricultural interests.
Explanation:
The Duke of Wellington once bumped into Nelson in a minister’s anteroom. Nelson had no idea who Wellington was (it was before he was famous), and at first Nelson talked entirely about himself, and in a style so vain and silly that Wellington was disgusted.
