		The Constitution Act describes the three branches of Government in New Zealand: The Executive (the Sovereign and Cabinet), the legislature (Parliament) and the judiciary (Courts).
		This Act was based almost entirely on a draft by Sir George Grey, the main difference being the appointment of the Governor by the Secretary of the Colonies, and not by the (New Zealand) House of Representatives.

	Cabinet Manual - Introduction
		The Act first recognises that the Queen - the Sovereign in right of New Zealand - is the Head of State of New Zealand, and that the Governor-General appointed by her is her representative in New Zealand.
		Constitutional conventions are of critical importance to the working of the constitution, even though they are not enforceable by the courts.
		The essential principle in such situations is that the Queen, as a constitutional monarch, or the Governor-General, as her representative, acts in accordance with the advice of the Prime Minister or Ministers who have the necessary support of the House of Representatives.

	New Zealand to vote on new Constitution? - 23 February 2002
		New Zealand is a constitutional monarchy with the British monarch, represented by the Governor-General presiding as the head of state, and acting as the nominal source of all law.
		Acts of Parliament have, over the past 20 years, increasingly referred to the principles of the Treaty and incorporated express reference to it, although the Treaty has never been adopted in its entirety in any New Zealand Act.
		To address these problems, the Constitution Trust is circulating a petition for a referendum to adopt a written constitution, vesting sovereignty in the people, rather than the Government, and explicitly asserting that the Government is responsible to the people.
