The Justification of Charles I's Execution and the Impact of the Glorious Revolution

This text explores the execution of King Charles I and debates its justification, linking it to the subsequent Glorious Revolution. Under the rule of William and Mary, England transformed from an absolute monarchy into a constitutional monarchy, ensuring that laws limited the sovereign's powers. The English Bill of Rights established essential principles, including parliamentary superiority and the protection of citizens' rights. The peaceful transition of power in 1688 laid the groundwork for a balanced relationship between the monarchy and Parliament in British governance.
