Law of succession to the British throne (enacted in 1700, promulgated in 170 1 year)

The first rule is that today's kings have no children. After his death, his throne will be inherited by Princess Anne, who has no children. After his death, his throne will be inherited by the granddaughter of King James I, the daughter of the late Bohemian Queen, Princess Sophia, the elector of Hanover, and her Protestant descendants.

At present, in the absence of an heir to His Majesty the Danish King and Princess Anna, the throne and title of Britain, France, Ireland and their territories are inherited by Sophia, the granddaughter of the late King James I, the daughter of the late Bohemian Queen Elizabeth and the elected princess of Hanover. After the death of His Majesty the King of Denmark and Princess Anna, if there are no heirs, all the honors, titles, imperial powers, privileges, powers and authorities enjoyed by the thrones, governments and British monarchs of England, France and Ireland, as well as their territories, should belong to the Protestant Princess Sophia and her descendants. Members of the House of Lords and Members of the House of Commons themselves and their descendants should resolutely support and defend Princess Sophia and her Protestant descendants in in the name of people in accordance with the restrictions on the succession to the throne in this Law, and try their best to repel any attempt against them with their lives and property.

Article 2 A person who can inherit the throne according to this Law and insists on associating with the Roman Church is not eligible to be sworn in as a coronation according to the previous laws according to the provisions of Chapter VI of the first year of the laws of King William and Queen Mary.

Anyone who is restricted from inheriting the throne according to this law, if he is reconciled with the Vatican or the church now or in the future, or keeps in touch, or believes in Roman Catholicism or marries a Roman Catholic, will be disqualified from inheriting according to the circumstances stipulated and confirmed by the previous decree.

All kings and queens who acceded to the throne in accordance with this law shall take the oath ceremony at the time of coronation in accordance with the Parliamentary Act promulgated by the current king and the late Queen Mary in the first year of his reign (known as the Coronation Oath Act), and shall sign and recite the oath stipulated in the Act in accordance with the procedures and methods stipulated in the Act.

Article 3 provides more detailed provisions on the protection of religion, law and freedom in these territories.

In order to protect our religion, law and freedom, it is necessary and essential to make more detailed regulations when the Danish king and Princess Anna die without heirs. This should be stipulated by His Majesty the King with the consent of the members of the House of Lords and the House of Commons, and he has the power of the king.

After that, anyone who ascended the throne should associate with the Anglican Church in accordance with the law.

After that, when the country's throne and title belong to people who are not in the Kingdom of England, their nationals have no obligation to defend the territory that does not belong to Britain and wage war without the consent of Congress.

After the restriction of this law comes into effect, anyone born outside the autonomous regions or territories of England, Scotland or Ireland (including naturalized people, except those whose parents are British) may not be an adviser to the Privy Council or a member of both houses of Congress, nor may he hold civil and military positions, and he or someone he trusts may not enjoy the land or hereditary property given by the king.

Impeachment against the lower house of parliament cannot be defended by the king's pardon.

Article 4 Confirmation of domestic laws and decrees.

Since English law is the birthright of the British people, all kings and queens who ascend to the British throne should manage their own affairs according to the provisions of English law, and their officials and ministers should also serve the king according to the same laws.

Therefore, members of the House of Lords and the House of Commons want to make the following demands again: all laws and decrees protecting the rights and freedoms of the state religion and the people, as well as other existing laws and decrees, can be approved and confirmed, and His Majesty the King will negotiate with members of the House of Lords and the House of Commons to approve and confirm them by his power.

The succession of the British throne is determined according to the eldest son's right of succession, that is, the throne should be inherited by the eldest son of the current monarch, followed by other sons and finally daughters. However, according to the law, the succession to the British throne is not automatic. According to the settlement act passed by 170 1, the throne shall be passed to the blood descendants of Sophia, a priestess in Hanover, and the heirs shall not be Catholics or marry Catholics. Some people think that this provision conflicts with the provisions of other British laws prohibiting religious discrimination. But in fact, the vast majority of people who are eligible to inherit the throne are Protestant Christians, and most of them claim to be members of the Anglican Church in public.

In addition, the bill also stipulates that the succession to the throne is decided by the parliament, not the monarch himself.
