Great Britain/British Empire/United
Kingdom
The Treaty
of Union.(Act
of Union) between England and Scotland signed on January 14, 1707 was the
birth of Great Britain; at its height in the early 1900s, the British Empire
included over 20 percent of the world's land area and more than 400 million
people. Truly the Sun was always up on some part or the other of the great
British Empire.
The 1707
Act of Union created a single Parliament, provided for a single national
administration and removed barriers to trade. England and Scotland however,
continued to have certain separate traditions.
The
English Constitution was drafted by General Lambert, contains 42 sections
and is dated December 18, 1653.
