The Sanquhar Declaration is a speech read by Covenanter , Richard Cameron , accompanied by twenty armed men in the public square of Sanquhar , Scotland , in 1680 , disavowing allegiance to Charles II and the government of Scotland, in the name of "true Protestant and Presbyterian interest", opposition to government interference in religious affairs, and Anti-Catholicism . This symbolic demonstration, essentially a declaration of war, was among the first of a series of events that led to the Glorious Revolution and the end of the reign of the House Of Stuart . |
