Document Summary
The glorious revolution: when charles ii died, he was succeeded by james ii ("no true judgement"), charles and james had been in exile in france during cromwell"s dictatorship. This was well as long as the queen wasn"t pregnant and parliament was willing to tolerate. James knowing someone else (a true prodestant) will be in the line to the throne. The queen eventually became pregnant and all feared the son would be brought up as. King cannot raise an army without parliamentary consent: paved the way for a constitutional monarchy--their role is restricted, habeas corpus: freedom from arbitrary arrest. "my home is my castle": free from invasion of the home. A warrant is needed and it must be justified: religious tolerance. Catholics, independents, etc, were not allowed to hold public office until the 19th century: expansionist mood. In earlier centuries, there were crusades: reconquista in spain: christendom was able to reconquer spain. Idea that christianity is the one true faith.
