SCOTLAND CLAIM OF RIGHT. Declaration. 1689 Edinburgh 11th April. 8pp, unbound. “The declaration of the Estates of the kingdom of Scotland, containing the claim of right, and the offer of the crown to Their Majesties, King William and Queen Mary: together with the grievances represented by the estates; and Their Majesties oath at their acceptance of the crown.”. Last leaf detached. Signed to the back in print William R Mary R Whitehall 11 May 1689.

*The Claim of Right Act 1689, which received royal assent on April 11, 1689, was a Scottish act that deposed King James VII and established the sovereignty of the people of Scotland over the monarch. It is considered a key document in both Scottish and UK constitutional law, affirming that the monarch's power is limited by law, and that the Scottish Parliament has the power to limit the power of the king. It is the Scottish equivalent to the English Bill of Rights 1689, which was passed around the same time.
