Why did opposition forces want to overthrow King James II in what would become the Glorious Revolution?
- They were angered by the cost of maintaining the North American colonies relative to the revenue they generated.
- They contended that England had not done enough to limit Dutch dominance of international trade.
- They felt that England should be ruled by Parliament alone and not have a monarchy.
- James was a Catholic and they did not want his son to succeed him and establish a Catholic dynasty in England.
