Final answer:
The English Parliament chose William and Mary to replace King James as leader of England.
Step-by-step explanation:
When King James II came to the throne in 1685, his support of English Catholics led to the Glorious Revolution of 1688. As a result, his Protestant daughter Mary and her husband William of Orange were chosen by the English Parliament to replace him as joint monarchs of England. William and Mary ruled jointly until Mary's death in 1694 and William's death in 1702. After their reign, the English Crown passed to the Protestant relatives of the Stuarts, the Electors of Hanover.
