To govern



Слайд 3A brief introduction:
the oldest representative democracy in the world
the process of

state-building has been one of evolution rather than revolution
the long, unbroken history is apparent in Britain’s current political institutions and in its political culture

Слайд 4A brief introduction:
The UK still keeps an old fashioned government established

on the basis of constitutional monarchy:


Слайд 5Constitutional Monarchy:
The head of the state is a king or queen.


In practice, the country is governed, in the name of the Sovereign, but by His or Her Majesty’s Government.



Слайд 6The Monarchy
1. History of the Monarchy
▶Magna Carta (the Great

Charter)
2. the present Sovereign is Queen Elizabeth II, daughter of George Ⅵ, who ascended the throne in 1952 and was crowned in 1953. her eldest son---Prince Charles--- is the heir to the throne.
3. Power of the Queen



Слайд 7 Magna Carta:
King John of England agreed, in 1215, to the

demands of his barons.
Thus he bound not only himself but his "heirs, for ever" to grant "to all freemen of our kingdom" the rights and liberties the great charter described.
With Magna Carta, King John placed himself and England's future sovereigns and magistrates within the rule of law.
