RMABJM2P–House of Commons in session during the reign of King George II. Hand-colored woodcut

RMRC7GGT–The House of Commons during the reign of King George II was the lower house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It eventually became the House of Commons of Great Britain after the political union with Scotland in 1707. Under the Parliament Act 1911, the Lords' power to reject legislation was reduced to a delaying power. The Government is solely responsible to the House of Commons and the Prime Minister stays in office only as long as he or she retains the support of a majority of the Commons.

The Lower House continued to grow in influence, reaching a zenith during the 17th century, when following the English Civil War, the House of Lords was reduced to a largely powerless body. On 19 March 1649, the House of Lords was abolished by an Act of Parliament. After the Convention Parliament met in 1660 and the monarchy was restored, it again became the more powerful chamber of Parliament, until the 19th Century.
