Position:Home>History> What's the glorious and puritan revolution??who's the levellers??Question:thanks a million =) Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: thanks a million =) Godness me can't stand the Levellers, just ignore them, everyone does, apart from the NMarmy. Glorious revolution is when James II, that's Charles I's second son, becomes King messes it up with being a Catholic and is chased out of England by his daughter and William of Orange, it's quite funny, poor crazy James!!! it's called the Glorious revolution because it's bloodless, ulike the Purtians twating everything up in the Civil war! They were the spiritual precursors to Socialism. The "Glorious Revolution" was the replacing of James II (king of England) with William of Orange. This demonstrated that Parliament was the prime authority in England. The "Puritan Revolution" is better known as the English Civil War. Charles I was overthrown by Parliament after a war over who should control Parliament. Charles was executed for treason. The Levellers wanted to eliminate all social classes in England other than that of the common man. They wanted to get rid of the nobility and gentry, as well as the monarchy. No, the first two had nothing to do with Socialism, nothing at all. The Levellers could be argued to have some similarity, but not much. The levellers were a group of pre-industrial revolution "socialists" who believed in equality between men. Dunno about the glorious and puritan revolution though - never heard of it.
