The Exclusion Crisis ran from 1678 through 1681 in the reign of Charles II of England. The Exclusion Bill sought to exclude the king's brother and heir presumptive, James, Duke of York, from the throne of England because he was Roman Catholic. The Tories were opposed to this exclusion, while the "Country Party", who were soon to become known as the Whigs, supported it.
