Topic - English Government  There has not been a government of
England since 1707 when the Kingdom of England ceased to exist
as a sovereign state, as it merged with the Kingdom of Scotland
to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. Prior to 1707, the
government of England was in fact the government of England and
Wales since Wales was joined to England under the Statute of
Rhuddlan in 1284 and from the Laws in Wales Acts 1535-1542,
England and Wales formed a single legal system. - Source:
