The Structure of Government in Great Britain
The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world where a constitutional monarchy has remained with its old customs, traditions and ceremonies. Today the head of the United Kingdom is her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen has no actual power, but she has many formal functions. In Britain the Queen is not only head of state, but also the symbol of the nation’s unity. She is head of the executive, a part of legislature, head of the judiciary, the commander-in-chief of all armed forces, the head of the Anglican Church. The UK is governed by her Majesty’s Government in the name of the Queen.
The Queen is officially head of all the branches of government, but she has little direct power in the country. The constitution has three branches: Parliament, which makes lows, the government, which "executes" laws (puts them into effect) and the courts, which interpret laws. Parliament has two parts: the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
