The correct answer is C: The Glorious Revolution established the victory of Parliament over the King and limited the power of the government.

The Glorious Revolution took place during 1868-69. In 1868, King James II of England, who was a Roman Catholic, was opposed by the non-catholic population of his kingdom. Morover, he followed some policies that widened the gap between catholics and non-catholics. When his son was born, many non-catholic leaders feared that he would undoubetdly be raised as a catholic and he would eventually become their King. As a resutl, leading Englishmen invited protestant William of Orange to lead an army to England and become King. When he bacame King, he swore to govern according to the laws of Parliament. Therefore, thanks to the Glorious Revolution, Parliament was established as the ruling power of England, which implied a shift from the absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy.
