Act of Union with Scotland (1707)
Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006
This Act represented the ratification of the Treaty of Union, and made
England, Wales and Scotland one state with the name `Great Britain'. The
Treaty was the result of negotiation to recobine the governments of
England and Scotland after the collapse of the joint monarchy. It provides
assurances for the continuation of many Scottish instruments of
government (e.g., the distict court system), and defines the size of the Scottish
representation in Parliament.
