The correct answer is 'II and III'. Key Points In 1707, the Acts of Union received their Royal assent, thereby abolishing the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland and their respective parliaments to create a unified Kingdom of Great Britain with a single Parliament of Great Britain. The Acts of Union, passed by the English and Scottish Parliaments in 1707, led to the creation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain on 1 May of that year. The UK Parliament met for the first time in October 1707. In 1798, there was a rebellion by the United Irishmen, an underground republican society, aimed at establishing the Irish Republic based on the principles of the French Revolution. The rebellion failed in its aim to launch a coordinated nationwide uprising. The military uprising was put down with great bloodshed in the summer of 1798. Some of its leaders, notably Wolfe Tone were killed or died in imprisonment, while many others were exiled. In 1800, the British and Irish Parliaments voted in favor of the union. On 1st January 1801, the new United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was officially born. Hence, from the above, it is clear that only statements II and III are correct.
