Prerogative - LoveToKnow 1911 The prerogative of conferring honours is generally (though not necessarily) exercised by the king in person, as in the case of investment with knighthood and military or civil decorations. Parts of the prerogative - generally in the nature of profit, and so in derogation of the revenue of the Crown - may be 1 There is no difference in the prerogative as exercised by a king or a queen regnant, so that the word "king" in its constitutional sense includes queen.

Former left wing Labour MP Tony Benn campaigned for the abolition of the Royal Prerogative in the United Kingdom in the 1990s, arguing that all governmental powers in effect exercised on the advice of the Prime Minister and cabinet should be subject to parliamentary scrutiny and require parliamentary approval.

Department for Constitutional Affairs - Government Response to the PASC Fourth Report of Session 2003-04: Taming the ... It agrees with the Committee's assessment that the prerogative offers much needed flexibility to govern, and is a well-established part of the constitution, and that Ministers need executive powers which enable them to react quickly in possibly complex and dangerous circumstances. Passports are issued under the prerogative by or on behalf of the Secretary of State. The Government notes that the Committee did not think the case for increased scrutiny of the use of prerogative powers in these areas was sufficiently strong to be singled out in their recommendation. www.dca.gov.uk /pubs/reports/prerogative.htm   (1688 words)

Blackstone's Commentaries - Book the First : Chapter the Seventh : Of the King's Prerogative THESE are the principal prerogatives of the king, refpecting this nation's intercourfe with foreign nations; in all of which he is confidered as the delegate or reprefentative of his people. And therefore, in parliamentary impeachments, the king has no prerogative of pardoning: becaufe there the commons of Great Britain are in their own names the profecutors, and not the crown; the offence being for the moft part avowedly taken to the done againft the public.

Presidential Warmaking, Prerogative Theory, Nixon, Vietnam The adherents of prerogative theory hold that the presidential prerogative is a broad power to act in the national interest, or general welfare, of the U.S.A. during time of a very serious national crisis or extreme emergency. This general, undefined power, ac- cording to the exponents of prerogative theory, is inherent in the constitutional posi- tion of the President as Commander-in-Chief of the nation's Armed Forces. The American theory of the presidential prerogative, as stated and defended by its exponents, is related to and derived from the theory of the royal prerogative in English and British constitutional history. www.geocities.com /way_leroy/ProConVolTwoIssueOnePage3.html   (2483 words)

John Locke: Second Treatise of Civil Government: Chapter 14 It is easy to conceive, that in the infancy of governments, when commonwealths differed little from families in number of people, they differed from them too but little in number of laws: and the governors, being as the fathers of them, watching over them for their good, the government was almost all prerogative. Those who say otherwise, speak as if the prince had a distinct and separate interest from the good of the community, and was not made for it; the root and source from which spring almost all those evils and disorders which happen in kingly governments. And where the body of the people, or any single man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise of a power without right, and have no appeal on earth, then they have a liberty to appeal to heaven, whenever they judge the cause of sufficient moment. www.constitution.org /jl/2ndtr14.htm   (365 words)

Prime Minister's prerogative picks the poll period Now that the mantle of power has passed to self described parliamentary reformer Paul Martin, who rode into office promising to drastically reduce the centralized power of the PMO, there is no indication he plans to loosen his vise grip on this electoral timing tool. The candidate goes to the electorate when it's time, not when he or she is riding a temporary high in the polls. Given the administrative cost of holding an election a Mari usque ad Mare, permitting the PM to call elections on a whim is problematic even on an economic basis. www.suite101.com /article.cfm/canada_politics/108588   (450 words)

NATIONAL GUN LAWS AND CONSTITUTIONAL MATTERS AND THE PREROGATIVE OF THE CROWN The Prerogative is thus created and limited by Common Law and the Sovereign can claim no Prerogative except such as the law allows, nor such as are contrary to Magna Carta, or to any other Statute, or to the Liberties of the Subjects (Citizens). The Prerogative is not confined to the British Islands, but extends to all parts of the Commonwealth, as fully in all respects as to England. For the prerogative is created for the benefit of the people and cannot be exerted to their prejudice. www.lockstockandbarrel.org /letters/LTE013.htm   (3537 words)

UK Parliament - PASC 19   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) Prerogative powers, handed down direct from monarchs to ministers over many years, allow governments, among other things, to go to war, regulate the Civil Service, issue passports and grant honours, all without any need for approval from Parliament. It may be of more practical assistance to identify those powers which have been consistently recognised by the courts in the past, mindful of the encroachment into the prerogative as a result of the control exercised by Parliament and the courts. 15.    If challenged, the prerogative must be recognised by the courts.  They  therefore define its limits and have jurisdiction to inquire into the existence and extent of any alleged prerogative.  Whether powers derive from the prerogative or from statute, the courts recognise the limits of justiciability.  In Judicial Review of Administrative Action (5th Ed. www.parliament.uk /parliamentary_committees/public_administration_select_committee/pasc_19.cfm   (1015 words)

Royal Prerogative This is interesting to me particularly as we have been talking about the Royal Prerogative recently in Constitutional Law class and of course at the start of 2003 the prerogative to go to war was exercised by Tony Blair, but interestingly only after he had won a Parliamentary debate on the issue. The Government argues that new prerogative powers cannot be invented, and that “some have fallen out of use altogether, probably forever—such as the power to press men into the Navy”. The government provided the list on request from the select committee who are seeking ways to increase Parliamentary oversight of Ministers and may pursue legislation which seeks to require the exercise of prerogative powers to have Parliamentary assent. www.anoasis.co.uk /archives/000332.html   (281 words)

Amazon.com: Greatest Hits: My Prerogative (Limited Edition with Bonus CD): Music: Britney Spears   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) From the Abba-esque choruses of her earliest hits ("...Baby One More Time," "Crazy") to the twitching, pulsed-up grooves of 2001's "I'm a Slave 4 U" to the technified bleeps and swizzles of 2003's self-skewering "Outrageous," the pop princess proves she's been largely content to let her in-studio performances take a back seat to the rhythm. Rarely has someone been so famous for so little, and that fact shines through in "Greatest Hits: My Prerogative."
