Answer:

power over the English monarchy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Glorious Revolution is the continuity of a process that extended in England from 1640 to 1688 and is regarded by historians as part of the English Revolution. This period began with the Puritan Revolution, also known as the English Civil War. This was the first major event resulting from a series of friction between the Stuart dynasty kings and the Parliament of England.

This friction between king and parliament was motivated by religious issues, since Parliament was puritan and Charles I was Catholic, but also by the interest of English parliamentarians in reducing the king's powers (England was an absolutist monarchy until then). Finally, a civil war broke out in England that resulted in the fall of the Stuart Dynasty and the regicide of Charles I in 1649. With the beheading of the king, Oliver Cromwell assumed the power of England in a dictatorial republic known as the Commonwealth.

This revolution greatly changed the form of government on English territory and demonstrated that parliament had power over the English monarchy.
