England — the Glorious Revolution.

In 1688–89 James II was deposed and William of Orange took the throne; Parliament’s victory was formalized in the 1689 Bill of Rights, which limited royal power and helped establish constitutional monarchy — an important early check on kings that influenced Enlightenment political thought.
