The Acts created a new unified Kingdom of Great Britain and dissolved the separate English and Scottish parliaments in favour of a single parliament, located in the former home of the English parliament in the Palace of Westminster, near the City of London . This lasted nearly a century, until the Acts of Union 1800 merged the separate British and Irish Parliaments into a single Parliament of the United Kingdom with effect from 1 January 1801 . </P> <P> Following the Treaty of Union in 1706, Acts of Union ratifying the Treaty were passed in both the Parliament of England and the Parliament of Scotland, which created a new Kingdom of Great Britain . The Acts dissolved both parliaments, replacing them with a new parliament, referred to as the' Parliament of Great Britain', based in the home of the former English parliament . All of the traditions, procedures, and standing orders of the English parliament were retained, as were the incumbent officers, and members representing England comprised the overwhelming majority of the new body . It was not even considered necessary to hold a new general election . While Scots law and Scottish legislation remained separate, new legislation was thereafter to be enacted by the new parliament . </P>
