Convention Parliament (1689)
The English Convention (1689) was an irregular assembly of the Parliament of England which transferred the crowns of EnglandScotland and Ireland from James II to William III. It differed from the English Convention (1660) in that it did not unconditionally restore the rightful and lawful monarch, but chose to justify the deposing of that monarch in favour of another, and also sought to introduce new laws and arrangements into the constitution.
