Which Act of Parliament outlined the line of succession in 1701?

  • Act of Union

  • Bill of Rights

  • Act of Settlement

  • Act of Uniformity

Answer

The Act of Settlement, passed in 1701, established the line of succession to the English throne after the death of Queen Anne. It determined that only Protestant descendants of Sophia, Electress of Hanover, could inherit the crown. This act ensured a stable Protestant monarchy and prevented Catholic monarchs from ascending the throne, thus shaping the future religious and political landscape of England and its successor states.
