	EH.Net Encyclopedia: The Glorious Revolution of 1688
		The Glorious Revolution was when William of Orange took the English throne from James II in 1688.
		The second credibility story of the Glorious Revolution was that the increased credibility of the government's constitutional structure translated into an increased credibility for the government's commitments.
		While the Glorious Revolution was critical to the Financial Revolution in England, the follow up assertion in North and Weingast (1989) that the Glorious Revolution increased the security of property rights in general, and so spurred economic growth, remains an open question.

	Industrial Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Industrial Revolution was the major technological, socioeconomic and cultural change in the late 18th and early 19th century resulting from the replacement of an economy based on manual labor to one dominated by industry and machine manufacture.
		The causes of the Industrial Revolution were complex and remain a topic for debate, with some historians seeing the Revolution as an outgrowth of social and institutional changes wrought by the end of feudalism in Great Britain after the English Civil War in the 17th century.
		This "second" Industrial Revolution gradually grew to include the chemical industries, petroleum refining and distribution, electrical industries, and, in the twentieth century, the automotive industries, and was marked by a transition of technological leadership from Great Britain to the United States and Germany.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: English Revolution of 1688
		The history of the Revolution resolves itself into a catalogue of various ill-judged measures which alienated the support of the Established Church, the Tory party, and the nation as a whole.
		The execution of Monmouth (July, 1685) made the Revolution possible, for it led to the Whig party accepting William of Orange as the natural champion of Protestantism against the attempts of James.
		A Convention Parliament met on 22 January, 1689, declared that James "having withdrawn himself out of the kingdom, had abdicated the government, and that the throne was thereby vacant", and "that experience had shown it to be inconsistent with the safety and welfare of this Protestant kingdom to be governed by a Popish Prince".

		The Glorious Revolution ( 1688 - 1689) is an event in which the Stuart king James II (James VII of Scotland) was removed from his thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland, and replaced by William of the House of Orange and his wife and joint sovereign Mary.
		It is sometimes referred to as the "Bloodless Revolution" which is largely true of William's sucession to the English throne, although his struggle to gain the Scottish and Irish thrones was far from bloodless.
		The Glorious Revolution was one of the most important events in the long evolution of powers possessed by Parliament and by the Crown in England.

	20th WCP: Hume on Revolution
		Nonetheless, the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and quite possibly the American Revolution are positive examples of rebellion and revolt.
		That is, the Revolution of 1688 was justified without tyranny which is part of Hume’s proffered general rule and the Bolingbroke Rebellion was unjustified even though popular and many believed to be in their best interest again missing Hume’s general rule regarding the benefits of society.
		So, regarding the Revolution of 1688, the British political system made the politicians base their causes on ‘principle.’ While liable to criticism, they were part of the established practices in Britain, the same practices Richard H. Dees refers to regarding the turn from Parliamentary power to individual liberty.

		To a large extent, the Roman Catholic James II (1633-1701), King of Great Britain from 1685 until he fled to France in 1688, brought the "Glorious" revolution down upon himself.

		William landed with an army at Torbay in November 1688, promised to defend the liberty of England and the Protestant religion, and marched unopposed on London.

	The Early Reception of John Locke's Two Treaties of Government: 1668-1702 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		It is generally agreed by historians that the Two Treatises were not written to defend the Revolution of 1688 but were already in existence when Locke fled to Holland in 1683.
		A preference for an historical and legal justification for the revolution, as opposed to one that is philosophical, is clearly found in William Atwood’s qualified praise of the Two Treatises in his own defense of the activities of 1688.
		Furthermore, Atwood understood Locke to argue that once this revolution occurs, the people of that nation are restored to the state of nature and are without a common standard to mediate disputes.
