The British monarchy, the most ancient and noble of institutions, seems to me an excellent subject on which to proceed. The starting point is clear from the beginning, but the endings and beginnings of the reigns of Charles, Charles II and the Interregnum, when England became a republic. We will no doubt take a closer look at both kings later, but for now I think it will serve us well enough.
Britain is described as a constitutional monarchy. This was done first by the Bill of Rights of 1689, which established the line of succession for the heirs of Mary the Second. The Settlement Act of 1811 ensured that only Protestants could rule in Britain, and so he introduced the Bill of Rights.
In any case, to this day, no Roman Catholic can hold the headship, nor any person married to a Roman Catholic.
A constitutional monarchy simply means that the king or queen is the Head of State, but he does not in any way establish or interfere with the laws of the nation. This refers to the elected government. Political parties are considered separate from the offices of the Governor of the State. It is an excellent reason, because the reigning monarch is in no position to appoint advisers as he sees fit. All officers must be duly elected.
There is no writing for a constitutional monarchy. The Convention is to be placed in a safe place, together with the rights and duties of the Monarch. However, these non-statutory rules are just as binding as if they were written down in documentary form. The prince enjoys great political responsibilities, although he must act on the advice of his ministers. And the supreme head of the armed forces appoints the highest officers, confers honors and has power. examine and discuss certain laws.
All monarchs are the head of a private council. This is the most ancient form of assembly, going back to the Norman kings, when they would meet their councilors in private. Hence the Privy Council.
The private council has 400 members. They meet about once a month at Windsor Castle or Buckingham Palace. Sometimes at Balmoral.
17th I saw the ancient change of the century. In those days, the king and the council he chose were the principalities.
We have reached the Bill of Rights. This also preserved the leadership of the parliament. The Stuart kings, who were most envious of the divine right of kings, had surrendered themselves, and that the reigning prince was answerable to God alone, and not to the law of the earth.
The private council is the final appellate court for countries such as Jamaica and Barbados. Crown dependencies and overseas territories of Britain and thus earned the right to appeal to His Majesty in Council.
A potted explanation of the premise of the Monarchy’s constitution is by no means exact. It would take several pages to cover so much material. But I hope you find this, and next time we’ll have a short for both Charlies!
