After the death of Queen Elizabeth I England had to find a new king/queen because she had no children; therefore, King James I was made King. The
Glorious Revolution started off in England when King
James II was overthrown and William III and Mary II were replaced. The Revolution allowed colonists to recieve their rights, but Parliament decided that every person under the rule of England was to be virtually represented. The acts (Stamp Act, Currency Act, and Sugar Act) passed by England kindled the colonists resistance from English rule. The English Bill of Rights presented some rights of the English which inlcuded freedom of speech and freedom to petition. However their rights were not fully granted by Parliament.
