<P> After 1689 English parliamentary supremacy became evident in the relation of the English parliament to those of Scotland and Ireland . The Act of Settlement 1701 made a presumption upon Scotland: the Scots retaliated with the Act of Security 1704, which was countered by the Alien Act 1705: the issue was settled by the Union of the parliaments of England and Scotland in 1707 which created a new British parliament, though "in essence it was just an extension of the English parliament". It is arguable whether the concept of parliamentary supremacy arose from the Acts of Union 1707 or was a doctrine that evolved thereafter . The autonomy of the Parliament of Ireland also came under attack and the Declaratory Act 1720 made the Irish parliament a dependency . The so - called Constitution of 1782 removed British parliamentary supremacy over Ireland for a short period but then the Irish parliament was merged with Britain's in the Acts of Union 1800 . </P> <P> The doctrine of parliamentary supremacy may be summarized in three points: </P> <Ul> <Li> Parliament can make laws concerning anything . </Li> <Li> No Parliament can bind a future parliament (that is, it cannot pass a law that cannot be changed or reversed by a future Parliament). </Li> <Li> A valid Act of Parliament cannot be questioned by the court . Parliament is the supreme lawmaker . </Li> </Ul> <Li> Parliament can make laws concerning anything . </Li>
