## Extracted Topic Notes

- 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. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-cbamecnudxo@transcript:v1#seg-0014`, `video:predictive-history-cbamecnudxo@transcript:v1#seg-0015`, `video:predictive-history-cbamecnudxo@transcript:v1#seg-0016`
- definition: Jiang reads Locke-style rights as a property-protection doctrine: the state protects private property regardless of origin and treats it as God-given. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-cbamecnudxo@transcript:v1#seg-0019`, `video:predictive-history-cbamecnudxo@transcript:v1#seg-0020`
- evidence: England attracts Dutch capital by installing William of Orange and creating the Bank of England, a private bank guaranteed by Parliament. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-b5fthagng8c@transcript:v1#seg-0044`
- diagnosis: The Glorious Revolution officially establishes Parliament as Britain's ultimate sovereign authority over the king. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-lagsxfvlofk@transcript:v1#seg-0027`, `video:predictive-history-lagsxfvlofk@transcript:v1#seg-0028`
- model: The Bank of England solves the credit crisis by turning loans from personal loans to kings into loans to the nation, making repayment survive the death or deposition of any monarch. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-lagsxfvlofk@transcript:v1#seg-0029`, `video:predictive-history-lagsxfvlofk@transcript:v1#seg-0030`
- model: English religious factions are mapped onto class power: middle-class reformers support Protestant change, many nobles remain Catholic, and the king is treated as Catholic-sympathetic. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-lagsxfvlofk@transcript:v1#seg-0057`
- 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. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-lagsxfvlofk@transcript:v1#seg-0057`, `video:predictive-history-lagsxfvlofk@transcript:v1#seg-0058`
