Key Notes
model
Jiang traces the modern system to the 1688 Glorious Revolution and 1694 Bank of England, where Dutch wealth and English state security fused into a private bank able to finance empire.
model
The Glorious Revolution is interpreted less as a religious event than as a capital-protection pact in which Parliament becomes sovereign and William of Orange accepts figurehead monarchy.
diagnosis
The Glorious Revolution officially establishes Parliament as Britain's ultimate sovereign authority over the king.
diagnosis
After the Glorious Revolution, Parliament limits the king by requiring that the monarch not be Catholic and by reserving power to replace rulers suspected of Catholic sympathies.
