	The Ultimate British overseas territory - American History Information Guide and Reference
		Overseas territories should be distinguished from crown dependencies (the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, which have a different constitutional relationship with the United Kingdom), and protectorates (which were not formally under the sovereignty of the United Kingdom).
		Overseas territories have never been considered integral parts of the United Kingdom, and have never had representation in the British Parliament, on the grounds that they are separate jurisdictions.
		Queen Elizabeth II is head of state in the overseas territories in her role as Queen of the United Kingdom, not in right of each territory.
