what is public law ?definition “public law is a set of legal and political principles governing the exercise of
power by the state and regulating the balance of power between the individual and the
state.”
Public law is also referred as constitutional law and administrative law.
The basic types of government
- Democracy
- Republic
- Monarchy
- Aristocracy (where rich rule over the poor)
- Dictatorship
- Communism
We are a democratic country and we have a monarchy. It is referred to as Democratic
(constitutional) monarchy.
Constitutional history
- Our constitution has removed from a monarchical system to a democratic system
that still maintain sits monarch
- Our monarch has very few ‘powers’ but operates as a non-political head of state.
- Elected leaders, such as the priminister perform many of the monarch historical
functions
- Legally they are performing these on behalf of the monarchy or the “crown”
- Politically the monarchy cannot prevent a politician from using these powers in a
way they do not agree with
- However, the government is accountable to parliament for how they act.
