Basic Error of Fact
editThe third paragraph says "Its title was a reference to the Claim of Right Act 1689, an Act of the Parliament of Scotland which limited the power of the Scottish monarch (at the time, William and Mary) in much the same manner as the English Bill of Rights passed the same year.
I can't say I know about the English Bill of Rights, but this seriously misstates the purpose of the Claim of Right Act 1689. [1] http://www.legislation.gov.uk/aosp/1689/28/paragraph/p44
The Claim of Right Act 1689 is a list of complaints about James vii of Scotland (ii of England) the purpose of which was to justify deposing him and to legitimate replacing him as monarch with William & Mary. You only need to read it through to confirm this -- it's pretty straightforward.31.54.229.217 (talk) 02:47, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
