It was passed in 1701 to resolve the issue of succession to the English and Irish thrones of the Electress Sophia of Hanover and her successors who are non-Catholics. This act was pressed by the inability of King Wiliam III and Queen Mary II as well as Queen Anne who was Mary’s sister to give birth to an heir. Sophia’s line was Protestant her son became King George I and started the Hanoverian Dynasty. This happened after the death of Queen Anne in August 1714. The act played an important role in the establishment of a King of Great Britain, England and Scotland that now had a shared ruler since 1603 but continued as individual governing countries.

Interpretive claims is not necessary in a historical essay.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

A historical essay is defined as an essay illustrating assertions about historic events that are substantiated by adequate evidence to give the viewers a greater clarity and knowledge of that specific event.

Interpretive claims are points of view which are explored and evaluated in an essay. Although interpretive claims could be well-versed and advocated by historical record, it is regarded subjective since the writer uses it to voice their opinion. They are not essential for a historical essay because those claims represent the writer's opinion or perception of an event or topic that is not far mandated in a historical essay.
