They wanted a limited (constitutional) monarchy and believed James II would not accept those limits.
Members of Parliament who invited William of Orange (the "Immortal Seven") acted because James’s pro‑Catholic policies, use of royal prerogative, and attempts to bypass Parliament threatened parliamentary rights and the Protestant constitution.
