Septennial Act

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.07 sec.

Septennial Act

Act 1716 extending the term of a parliament from three to seven years. It was designed to bolster the Whig government, by postponing the election due 1718 to 1722, but in the long term it led to greater stability but also increased the opportunities for corruption. The Parliament Act 1911, reduced the life of a parliament five years.
