Constitutional Analysis

The name of our government is The Royales seeing it went along with our type of government so well. We decided a Constitutional Monarchy would be the ideal government. The problems we have with our government can be solved by listening to the people. A problem we see with it is that to obtain certain positions you do have to be of royal blood to be King or Queen or to be in the House of Lords. This government seems to be for a smaller country/district, along with that we would definitely have to figure out how much we would actually be taxing to cover things such as healthcare and education. Once the taxes situation would be worked out we feel as though a Constitutional Monarchy would be a great choice to have as a government.
The Constitutional Monarchy functions by Parliament that consist of two houses which are the House of Lords and House of Commons. The House of Lords is a body of Monarch appointed by the Queen or King whereas the House of Commons is a body of elected officials voted in by the People. We have the Queen or King as the figurehead for our government. Parliament will be responsible but not limited to collecting taxes, declaring war, borrowing and coining money, naturalization, and impeachment. The people will have a say and with whom they elect into the House. There are more liberties that the people have but at regulated prices such as, the right to bear arms. People are allowed to bear arms but with more of a strict licensing to obtain a firearm. People have the right to marry no matter race, gender, preference, or religion. Also, gender equality and drinking and voting age are set at the legal age of 18 when people are able to join the military and risk their own life for their country. It doesn't seem to have many disadvantages as it is truly mixing royalty and commoners together. We made the terms and age which officials can

    Another major classic type of government depicted in the movie was Monarchy. Monarchy is an idealized form of government, a monarchy where the ruler has the power to rule his or her country and citizens freely with no laws or legally-organized direct opposition telling him or her what to do, although some religious authority may be able to discourage the monarch from some acts and the sovereign is expected to act according to custom. As a theory of civics, absolute monarchy puts total trust in well-bred and well-trained monarchs raised for the role from birth. The way that this government functions in the film is that the queen is the one that makes all the decisions, although she has an advisor by the name of General Mandible which is a form of a unitary system. We know what she runs a monarchy because the term “Queen” obviously belongs in the Monarchy definition. Although General Mandible is able to make decisions on his own, he can always be override by the queen since she has Absolute…

    The Central Government was made up of the Privy Council and the Crown. The Crown was a personal monarchy and therefore their personality could and did affect their reign and choices. The Crown was seen as being chosen by God and ruled by Divine Rule. They held the right to make any final decisions. The Privy Council, while powerful, was simply there to help and advise the Crown on the best way to carry out the Royal Prerogative. The Royal Prerogative, while being the Crowns powers under Common Law, was also their duties to the country. The Royal Prerogative was split into Ordinary Prerogative and Extraordinary Prerogative. The Ordinary Prerogative was for the everyday running and activities of the country. This involved the areas of Defence (military and faith-wise), Foreign Affairs, Law and Order, Power of Appointment, Trade and Commerce, Currency, and Parliament. The Crown was commander-in-chief of the armed forces. They declared war, made peace, signed treaties and trade agreements, and dealt with diplomacy. They were the ‘fount of justice’ dispensing justice through the law courts, making new courts, issuing royal pardons, appointing judges, ministers, advisers, officials and, if there wasn’t one, an heir. If the monarch were male they could determine church doctrine and appoint bishops - if they weren’t they appointed a male to take on this role. The monarch regulated trade by imposing customs and duties. Money could be minted only on authority of the Crown. While Parliament passed the laws the monarch had the power to veto them, and…

    Firstly, power corrupts people. The monarch lends its powers to the elected politicians, as long as they act within the Constitution. In the event that the elected politicians succumb to corruption, and/or disobey the Constitution, the monarch is able to act as a safeguard and take away that authority that was given to them in the first place. Canada’s armed forces and naval vessels swear allegiance to the monarch, which also helps protect the people, in the act of corruption. Constitutional monarchy also helps act as a symbol to Canadians, and it already appears throughout national life. The Queen’s image…

    The British Monarchy has had a large influence on Canada since European exploration of the Americas began in the late 15th century. However, over the last few decades there has been increasing debates over the relevance of the British monarchy in modern day Canada. Over the past few decades there has been a shift from monarchy to constitutional monarchy; this means the the King and Queen no longer have executive power to do what they please, the power now falls to an elected parliament (Citation). Because of this the monarchy has taken a largely symbolic role. Many people would argue that because this is a largely symbolic role, is not longer necessary and should therefore be abolished in Canada. The British Monarchy is proven to be an effective…

    Keeping the monarchy in a democratic society, is the same as using a quill in a school filled with pencils. Despite an immense amount of progress involving the Canadian government, there is an extensive problem disturbing the system. The constitutional monarchy puts a figurehead as the highest position and representative of our Country. As stated in the constitution, our Queen’s power is entrusted to the Prime Minister and other elected figures, which makes the democracy overpower the monarchy (“The Monarchy of Canada 4). Along with going against the regulations that are placed over the other members of the government, royalty prevents growth, new ideas and denies the citizen’s power to choice their own leader.…

    The most used defense in United States history has always been the Constitution. People have justified many deeds and/or criminal actions with this document. Written a little over two hundred years ago, it’s no surprise that the Constitution is highly debated. In fact, the United States has an entire branch of government specifically for interpreting the Constitution: the judicial branch. However, even the judicial branch’s interpretation is debated; the Supreme Court is constantly judged for its decisions. People wonder just what role the Supreme Court must have in interpreting the Constitution; many varying ideas have surfaced about this. Some take on a more literal interpretation of the Constitution when judging the level of constitutionality…

    The British Monarchy

    • 1483 Words

    A monarchy is political system based upon the undivided sovereignty or rule of a single person. The term applies to states in which supreme authority is vested in the monarch, an individual ruler who functions as the head of state and who achieves his position through heredity. Succession usually passes from father to son or follows other arrangements within the family or the monarchical dynasty. In particular, the British monarchy is the constitutional monarchy of the United Kingdom and its overseas territories, which traces its origins back to the 11th century. With regard to the statement that the British monarchy is an outdated governmental structure that has no place in the modern world, as far as I am concerned, I do not agree with it, because I believe that the British monarchy has its advantages and disadvantages and should not be labeled as outdated in our modern world, because being outdated does not mean that it does not work properly.…
