Act of SettlementIt is an act of succeeding to the throme after 1701 which was regulated by Parliament of Great Britain and passed in June 1701. The act was necessitated by the death of the last surviving child of the heir apparent, Anne in 1700.
It provided that the crown was to pass to the granddaughter of James I, the Sophia of Hanover, or her Protestant heirs. The act was supported by both Whigs and Tories. In addition to fixing the successor, the act attempted to limit the sovereign's authority and prevent foreign influence.
Future monarchs were to join in common with the Anglican church and were forbidden to travel abroad or use English revenue for defence of their foreign territory without Parliament's consent.
Foreigners were barred from any high office or pension in Houses of Parliament, the Privy Council, and any other important department.
Judges appointed by the crown were to hold office based on good behaviour rather that at the sovereign's pleasure.
王位继承法是英国议会规定的1701年以后王位继承的法案，1701年6月通过。
1700年，王位继承人安妮失去独子，从而需要这样一个法案。
王位继承法规定：王位由汉诺威家族詹姆斯一世的孙女索菲娅或其信奉新教的后嗣继承。
辉格党和托利党都支持该法案。除了安排继承人，该法案还努力限制君主的权利，阻止外国对其影响。
法案规定，凡登上英国王位者均加入英国国教，禁止出国旅行，未经议会同意不得利用国家收入为保卫非英格兰领土而进行战争。
外国人不得在议会、枢密院和任何重要部门担任职务或领取恤金。
由国王任命的法官主要看其公正廉洁，而不以国王的好恶为定。
