He agreed to a petition but then broke his word and dismissed Parliament
3. Why did Parliament remove James II from the throne?
James II brought up the wrath of the English people by favoring English Catholics and disregarding parliament and its laws. Parliament thought he was "dangerous" so they used the chance when they got it.
4. What was the central issue addressed by England's Declaration of Rights?
It made parliament stronger and protected the rights of the English people (first 10 amendments --> Bill of rights), and it said that the crown couldn't tax people or keep an army in peace time without parliament's consent. King lost almost all its power and Parliament got finally the power they wanted.
