The Act of Settlement, or formally An Act for the further Limitation of the Crown and better securing the Rights and Liberties of the Subject, is the constitutional and legal framework for the Wiltshirian Commonwealth. It is notable for its elimination of the principle of parliamentary supremacy, having placed sovereignty into the monarch, the governor-general of Wiltshire.
