Abstract
Assesses attempts to create a closer union between Scotland and England in the Union of Crowns period (1603-1717). Observes that those opposed to closer union insisted first on parliamentary, and then popular approval of any union proposal. The desire to resist union generated radical ideas about the political rights and power of the people, but ultimately the making of the union in 1706-7 ratified the concept of parliamentary sovereignty in the new United Kingdom.
