The Revolution led to limited tolerance for Nonconformist Protestants , although it would be some time before they had full political rights . It has been argued , mainly by Whig historians , that James 's overthrow began modern English parliamentary democracy : the Bill of Rights 1689 has become one of the most important documents in the political history of Britain and never since has the monarch held absolute power . </P>
