1) This accelerated a secret plan to bring in William of Orange, the champion of the Protestant cause in Europe and the husband of James’s Protestant daughter, Mary.
2) Cooperation between the crown and Parliament became effective only with the so-called Glorious Revolution. Its name celebrates the bloodlessness of the event, which saw William of Orange and his wife Mary established as joint monarchs in 1689.
3) OK
After Mary’s death in 1694, William of Orange, also known as William III (1689-1702), reigned alone.
During his reign, a series of laws were introduced which were to fix the course of modern Parliamentary England. In 1689, the Bill of Rights established that the Crown would not be able to rule the country without Parliament. The Toleration Act, which was passed in the same year, granted dissenters reasonable freedom of religion. Finally, the Act of Settlement of 1701 ensured that, within the royal family, only Protestants could be heirs to the throne.
