The establishment of a Scottish Parliament vested with powers devolved from the United Kingdom Parliament at Westminster has been perhaps the first revolution of the modern era that was conducted by committees of lawyers, clergymen, and accountants rather than cells of bearded radicals. Moreover, it was achieved without a shot being fired.
建立具有从英国威斯敏斯特授权的议会可能是现代世界中由律师、牧师以及会计师委员会，而不是大胡子的激进分子进行的第一场革命。而且，未发一弹就取得了这一结果。
