Several things: it chased away the Roman Catholic king James, replacing him with his daughter Anne and his Dutch son-in-law, the staunchly Protestant king William.
This confirmed the primacy of the Protestant (Anglican) church in England and meant that Catholics would remain second-class citizens in England, unelegible for almost any public office, until well into the 19th century.
Secondly and historically most importantly, on William and Mary's ascent to the throne they signed the Bill of Rights, basically establishing the primacy of Parliament in political and budgetary matters and meaning the end of 'absolutist' powers of British kings. The signing of the Bill of Rights is the reason it is called the "glorious" revolution.
