Answer 1

The answer is C. Parliament was afraid that when James II son grew up, he would be the next king, stronger and he would be a Catholic which would cause problems.

Answer 2

C) to ensure a Protestant monarchy

Step-by-step explanation:

The Glorious Revolution was the overthrow of Jacob II in 1688 by a union of Parliamentarians and the Dutch Estatúder Guillermo de Orange. Sometimes it is also called the Undivided Revolution, although there were combats and loss of human life in Ireland and Scotland.Catholic and Tori historians prefer the term "Revolution of 1688", since "Glorious" or "Invariant" would reflect the prejudices of Whig historians.

The Revolution is strongly associated with the events of the War of the Nine Years of Continental Europe, and can be seen as the last successful invasion of England. It can be argued that with the overthrow of James the English modern parliamentary democracy began: the monarch would never again have absolute power, and the Bill of Rights would become one of the most important documents of Great Britain. The deposition of the Catholic monarch James II ended any opportunity for Catholicism to be restored in England; and it also led to the tolerance of non-conformist Protestants.
