Soon after, Parliament restored the monarchy and led back the Stuarts to the throne. Charles II was to rule, but under the political control of parliament. In restoration, succeeded by two kings, Charles II (1660 - 1685) and James II (1685-1688), the latter tried to restore the absolute monarchy and increase the influence of Catholicism.
Observing the intentions of James II, the parliament did not take long to react, then creating a new conflict between parliament and the king. The parliament ousted James II, and signed an agreement with the Dutch prince William of Orange, married Mary Stuart, daughter of James II. Under the agreement the parliament had given the English throne and in return William must respect the powers of parliament.
The defeat of James II and the coronation of the Dutch prince William III marked as the source of the episode known as the Glorious Revolution. The new monarch signed the Declaration of Rights, by which the parliament limited the power of the king. (By scribe Valdemir Mota de Menezes)

CHRONOLOGY
A Chronology of the Reign of King James II (1685-88) and The Glorious Revolution (1688-89)
N.B.–In the late 17th Century, much of continental Europe used the modern calendar, i.e., the New Style (N. S.) or Gregorian calendar, introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. England and Scotland, however, still used the Old Style (O. S.) or Julian calendar; they did not adopt the modern calendar until 1752. Under both calendars it was always the same day of the week. Under the O. S. calendar New Year's Day was March 25; under the N. S. calendar New Year's Day was January 1. In the 17th Century, O. S. calendar events were 10 days of the month behind the N. S. date. Thus, the date William of Orange landed in England with his invasion force was Monday, November 5, 1688 O. S., and Monday, November 15, 1688 N. S., or, to provide both dates simultaneously, Monday, Nov. 15/5, 1688; and the date of the Presentation Ceremony in the Banqueting House at which William and Mary of Orange were offered and accepted the English throne, and thereby became King William III and Queen Mary II of England, was Wednesday, February 13, 1688 O. S., and Wednesday, February 23, 1689 N. S., or, to provide both dates simultaneously, Wednesday, Feb. 23/13, 1689/1688.
Generally, in this Chronology the dates given for events in England, Scotland, and Ireland are New Style (N. S.), followed by Old Style (O. S.); and the dates given for events on the continent of Europe are N. S. The new year is recognized as beginning on January 1 N. S., on March 25 O. S. Generally, dates for events in England, Scotland, and Ireland are New Style (N. S.) followed by Old Style (O. S.), and dates for events on the continent of Europe are N. S. The new year is recognized as beginning on January 1 N. S., on March 25 O. S.

Cette photo montre une famille de marche sous la pluie, nous voyons qu'il ya beaucoup d'enfants et petit parapluie. Réfléchir sur ce tableau, nous voyons que les familles nombreuses, il est relativement plus difficile que les familles avec moins de descendants. Même les tâches les plus simples commencent à prendre des proportions herculéennes pour ceux qui ont à nourrir, éduquer et protéger une grande famille.
LA FOULE enluminés de Mason Raymond
Cette gigantesque sculpture de l'artiste Raymond Mason, est installé sur l'avenue McGill College, Montréal, Canada, et se compose de 65 caractères qui représentent la fragilité et la dégradation de l'humanité. Analyse de chaque figure est perçu une attitude de faiblesse de personnes comme la peur, la honte, la confusion, la méfiance, la tristesse, de désespoir. Le fait de l'espèce humaine a des milliards d'exemplaires, et vivent dans de grands nids ou des colonies appelées villes ne suffit pas à rendre fort, sain et uni. L'humanité ne peut être ensemble, ma n'est pas unie. Cette sculpture nous fait penser que nous devrions croître à l'interne, pas externe dans le nombre de personnes.
LET UNE CAMPAGNE MONDIALE DE LUTTE CONTRE LA NAISSANCE DE prenant les mesures suivantes
1 - S'engager à ne pas avoir des enfants, ou au plus deux
2 - Discuter et fournir des conseils aux familles les moins sensibilisés à ce problème d'avoir beaucoup d'enfants
3 - Pour aider les gens qui veulent le contrôle des naissances
4 - exhorter les gouvernements à prendre des mesures de contrôle de la population avant que les problèmes s'aggravent
5 - Être un adepte de mon blog: demografiabiblica.blogspot.com et nous allons discuter d'un moyen d'arrêter ce mois de mars de l'humanité.
