The Acts of Union were two Acts of the Parliament.
a)True
b)False

Answer 1

Hint: The Acts of Union were put in the Parliaments of both England and Wales and also in the Parliament of Scotland when the two countries decided to unify for the rest of their times. These Acts were put forward in the respective Parliaments in the year 1707.

Complete answer: The unification of the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland was one of the most iconic events in the second half of the Second Millennium. It unified the two most powerful kingdoms of Europe and also paved the way for the unification of the resulting kingdom with the Kingdom of Ireland to make the present-day United Kingdom that is made up of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
a)True- This option is correct since the Act of Unification with Scotland was presented and passed in the Parliament of England in the year 1707 and it approved the King’s decision to merge the territories of the two kingdoms since they had been sharing the same monarch for a long time. Similarly, the Act of Unification with England was presented in the Parliament of Scotland in the year 170 and was passed with a majority vote of 110 – 69 in the year 1708. This unified the two kingdoms and the resulting kingdom came to be known as the United Kingdom and the flag of the Union Jack came into force.
b)False- This option is incorrect since the given information is true.
Therefore, option a is correct.

Note: There was another set of Acts of Parliament and Acts of Union that were signed between the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Ireland.
