Crown British

The Couronne is a term which makes it possible to separate the authority from the royal government and the person of the reigning sovereign. This principle of separation applies thus in all the kingdoms and territories of the the Commonwealth, where the crown is then represented by a Gouverneur.

According to this constitutional principle, one distinguishes the personal goods from the Head of the State and the goods with which the office is equipped. For example, the official residence of the British Monarchy, the Palate of Buckingham, belongs to the Crown, while Sandringham House, residence family of Windsor, is the private property of the Queen.

The sovereign of the the United Kingdom is designated by the law of succession of the kingdom, and the property of the Crown passes to the heir. The personal goods of the sovereign are bequeathed according to the will of the late one.

It is necessary to distinguish the kingdoms from the Commonwealth , whose monarch is the same person (thus personal Union) that the British monarch. In each kingdom there exists a separate crown: Crown British, Canadian Couronne, Australian Couronne, etc

  • the Prime Minister and the Ministers for the government of the State are named by Couronne  ;
  • the Crown does not have direct capacity on the Parliament of the State which votes the laws suggested by the gouvernement  ;
  • the Crown is represented in the State by a General governor (named by it in each State, except with the the United Kingdom where the monarch directly exerts this function) which approves and promulgates (in the name of the Crown) the laws voted by the Parliament of the State in agreement with its Constitution  ;
  • the international treaties signed by the State are ratified by the Head of State, i.e. by the monarch of the Crown or his representative, after approval by the Parliament of the State in agreement with its Constitution.
