The Glorious Revolution refers to the Parliamentary act of 1688 that removed King James II from the throne and enthroned William of Orange and his wife, Mary II, as co-monarchs of England. This event marked a significant shift in the balance of power between the monarchy and Parliament, leading to the establishment of constitutional monarchy in England. It was characterized by relatively little violence, hence the term "glorious." So the correct answer to your question is: **the Parliamentary act of 1688 that removed King James II and enthroned King William and Queen Mary.**
