The cause of the overthrow was a combination of two battles taking place in England at the time; one was a battle between Protestantism and Catholicism, the other between the growing power of [[Parliament]] and the "Divine Right" of the King. James was unpopular and seen as a threat due to his Catholicism and his closeness to King [[Louis XIV]] of France. However attempts to exclude him from becoming King had been unsuccessful.  [[William III]] and [[Mary II]] were effective rulers, Protestantism became firmly established, Parliament gained the upper hand in the government, and a [[English Bill of Rights|Bill of Rights]] was issued to protect the rule of law from arbitrary royal power.
