Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. As the House of Lords and the House of Commons are called into being by the act of the Sovereign, we must first of all understand the reigning monarch' 8 position in relation to the State. Succession to the Throne of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland is hereditary and the Sovereign may be either a man or a woman. When it has happened with us, as on more than one occasion, that the King or Queen dies, leaving no direct heir, the next successor to the Crown is nominated by Parliament, the person to whom the Crown has been offered has always been connected by marriage or descent with a former King of of England.
