Assertion :The Act of Union 1707 led to the formation of the "United Kingdom of Great Britain". Reason: The British parliament was henceforth dominated by its English members
Both the given statements are true. The Act of Union 1707 led to the formation of the "United Kingdom of Great Britain". Before this there were two separate states, the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland but with the same monarch. These two were united under one kingdom by the name Great Britain. This Act also concluded that England can influence its effect on Scotland and so the British parliament was henceforth dominated by its Englishmen.
