Whiggism took different forms in England and Scotland, even though from 1707 the two nations shared a single parliament.[17] While English whiggism had at its heart the power of parliament, creating for that purpose a constitutional monarchy and a permanently Protestant succession to the throne, Scottish Whigs gave a higher priority to using power for religious purposes, including maintaining the authority of the Church of Scotland, justifying the Protestant Reformation and emulating the Covenanters.[17] William Hutcheon, Whigs and Whiggism: political writings (new edition, 1971)	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6353.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6353.txt
