Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the options listed compromised James II's position prior to the Glorious Revolution. Advocating toleration for Catholics without the consent of parliament was seen as a direct challenge to the Anglican Church and the Protestant majority in England. Purging the Irish army of Protestants undermined the loyalty of many Protestants to James II, and imprisoning the Anglican Bishops caused outrage among many in the Church of England. Finally, James II fathering a Catholic son who had succession rights led to fears of a Catholic dynasty and intensified opposition to his reign.
