Settlement, Act of
Settlement, Act of One of several English Acts, that of 1701 being the most politically significant. It provided for the succession to the throne after the death of Queen
ANNE's last surviving child, and was intended to prevent the Roman Catholic Stuarts from regaining the throne. It stipulated that the crown should go to James I's granddaughter, the Electress Sophia of Hanover, or her surviving Protestant heirs. The Act placed further limitations on royal power, and made the judiciary independent of crown and Parliament. On Anne's death in 1714, Sophia's son became Britain's first Hanoverian monarch as
GEORGE I.
