Summarize events leading up to the Glorious Revolution. Include the character and policies of Charles II and the reason why the birth of James III precipitated the takeover of the throne by William of Orange
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Differences between the conciliatory methods of Charles and the hard-line policies of Parliament should be discussed. The main theme of the troubles of Charles and James II is a rabid anti-Catholicism. It may occur to some students to speculate on why many English had such a hatred for the religion of their ancestors, although this topic is not addressed in the textbook.
