Monarchy - a political system in which one
individual is sovereign, usually for life.
Absolute Monarch - the ruler is above the law,
supreme head of state, like despotism.
Constitutional Monarch - the ruler must follow the
constitution and the acts of a legislature.
The Basics
England's monarchy is constitutional
The Glorious Revolution of 1688
established the supremacy of the Parliament
England's monarchy has no political power
The role of today's monarchy is generally
for ceremonial reasons
Succession
Succession to the throne is based on the
principle of male primogeniture, according to which male
heirs take precedence over daughters and the right of
succession belongs to the eldest son. Daughters take
precedence over the Sovereign's brothers. When a daughter
succeeds, she becomes Queen Regnant and has the same
powers as a king. Where a Sovereign has no children, the
succession then lies with the Sovereign's eldest
surviving brother and his children (sons, then
daughters), as when William IV was succeeded by his niece
Victoria. If a Sovereign has no brothers, or if those
brothers have no children, then the line of succession
passes to the Sovereign's sister (s) in age order, as when
Edward VI was succeeded by his half-sisters Mary and
Elizabeth.
Coronation
For the last 900 years, the ceremony has
taken place at Westminster Abbey. The service is
conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury (whose task
this has almost always been since the Norman Conquest in
1066) in the presence of representatives of the Houses of
Parliament, Church and State.
