The Glorious Revolution: Locke Adapted

Continuing with John Locke: Philosopher of American Liberty by Mary Elaine-Swanson…

Part Two documents Locke’s philosophical and active influence on securing religious toleration and rights of Englishmen up to the time of William and Mary.

“John Locke is written in a clear, concise, accessible style that maintains a good balance between the informal and the scholarly with extensive documentation.

Locke’s ideas came to be adapted by England in its “Glorious Revolution, as it moved from an absolute to a limited monarchy in which the king ruled with the Parliament.”  from review of Darold Booton
