	The Crown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Crown servants may not sit as Members of Parliament and this is used as a way of allowing MPs to retire before their time—they are awarded a sinecure job which is that of a Crown Servant and thus disbarred as an MP (see resignation from the British House of Commons).
		In practice, in the vast majority of cases, the powers of the Crown outside the United Kingdom are not exercised by the Monarch personally, but rather by a Governor-General, Governor, or Lieutenant Governor (as the case may be), on the advice of the ministers of the local federal/national, state or provincial government.
		The rights which the Crown possesses in right of a Canadian province are exercised by the province's lieutenant-governor (e.g., Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia), not the Canadian governor general, and such rights are exercised under the advice of the provincial ministers (not the federal ministers).

		The concept of the Crown took form under the feudal system (The social system that developed in Europe in the 8th C; vassals were protected by lords who they had to serve in war), evolving from and synthesising oriental and barbarian concepts of kingship.

		A United Kingdom overseas territory (formerly known as a dependent territory or earlier as a crown colony) is a territory that is under the sovereignty and formal control of the United Kingdom but is not part of the United Kingdom proper (Great Britain and Northern Ireland).
		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).
		Depending on the stage of the colony's evolution (see Stages of colonial evolution) these may be only exercised in a symbolic capacity.

		As each of the dependencies is an off-shore finance centre, this has a particular interest to the business community as financial transactions, the source of the funds which are transacted, and the relevant tax implications, become increasingly subject to formal and informal international regulation.
		In the case of each of the dependencies, the final court of appeal in respect of questions of the domestic law of the dependency and relevant domestic law of the United Kingdom is the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
		So prerogatives of the Crown in respect of the dependencies may be limited by legislation, enacted at Westminster or by the legislature of the dependency (although such legislation would require the assent of the Crown).
