James VII as unionist and nationalist: A monarch's view of the Scottish Parliament as revealed through his writings
It is the common opinion of Whig historians, and not a few recent revisionists, that James VII and II undermined the parliamentary cultures of England and Scotland before the revolution of 1688–89. At the extreme end of this approach he is declared to have usurped parliamentary authority in a drive for absolute power.

Religion and disputes over church government were at the heart of the political and cultural agendas of the early modern period. Thus Scotland's Renaissance, late, protracted and relatively muted, has been explained by the national preoccupation with religious dogma and fac…
Inglorious Revolution: Administrative Muddle and Constitutional Change in the Scottish Parliament of William and Mary

The early years, for example, have been summarised bluntly: ‘compared with the English Parliament, the medieval Scottish parliament was insignificant'. But if the reputation of and interest in the Scottish Parliament is now the subject of much historiographical revision and effort,[ii] cont…
The Anatomy of the Printed Book in Early Modern Scotland
