CHARLES ~ Confirmed as next Head of Commonwealth. A gallant gentleman leads Meghan up the aisle to Harry. And his 70th birthday marked at Palace Party for 6000, with Harry’s tribute to “Pa” – six months in advance! WILLIAM & CATHERINE ~ Welcome their third child, Prince Louis of Cambridge. HARRY & MEGHAN ~ Hopefulness and joy sung and felt in wedding both personal and traditional, with a spry-looking Duke of Edinburgh walking and climbing stairs unaided. The living personalities who bring a sense of humanity to the Maple Crown joined happy crowds in seven-week period of celebration from April 21st to June 2nd. In date order, The Queen , shaking off her 92 years, celebrated a bittersweet birthday, likely the last time she will be surrounded by leaders of the Commonwealth to which she has given such care and prestige throughout her reign. Yet the affir - mation of all she has striven for – and a rare, publicly-expressed wish granted – brought the sweet: the unanimous confirmation of her el - dest son and Heir, Charles, to succeed her as Head of the Common - wealth in the fullness of time. Charles must have felt his lifetime of innovative service affirmed with the Commonwealth decision, and great joy as son Harry, reflect - ing the best of both his parents, received a world’s love in an aston - ishing Wedding. The Prince was clearly happy to bring Meghan up the aisle of the Quire of St George’s Chapel, take every care for her Mother during the day’s service and festivities following, and in the next days trade speeches of unfeigned love – “My darling old Harry, I’m so happy for you.” – “So, Pa, while I know that you’ve asked that today not be about you, you must forgive me if I don’t listen to you – much like when I was younger – and instead, I ask everyone here to say a huge thank you to you for your incredible work over nearly 50 years.” Five members of the Regina Symphony Orchestra were present at this event – HRH is their Patron. continued on page 2 FOUR GENERATIONS... continued from page 1 William & Catherine ~ by now accomplished hands at parent - ing, were clearly head over heels as Prince Louis arrived on St George’s Day to make their im - mediate family a fivesome.

Harry & Meghan ~ what more can we say? So happy a wedding on a summery day, hundreds of thousands lining the Windsor processional route, and some two billion of their friends watching every moment world - wide.

  • 1 BBC Four Biopics
    BBC Four biopics: Lessons in Trashy Respectability The broadcast of Burton and Taylor in July 2013 marked the end of a decade- long cycle of feature-length biographical dramas transmitted on BBC Four, the niche arts and culture digital channel of the public service broadcaster. The subjects treated in these biopics were various: political figures, famous cooks, authors of popular literature, comedians and singers. The dramas focused largely on the unhappy or complex personal lives of well-loved figures of British popular culture. From the lens of the 21st century, these dramas offered an opportunity for audiences to reflect on the culture and society of the 20th century, changing television’s famous function of ‘witness’ to one of ‘having witnessed’ and/or ‘remembering’ (Ellis, 2000). The programmes function as nostalgia pieces, revisiting personalities familiar to the anticipated older audience of BBC Four, working in concert with much of the archive and factual content on the digital broadcaster’s schedules. However, by revealing apparent ‘truths’ that reconfigure the public images of the figures they narrate, these programmes also undermine nostalgic impulses, presenting conflicting interpretations of the recent past. They might equally be seen as impudent incursions onto the memory of the public figures, unnecessarily exposing the real-life subjects to censure, ridicule or ex post facto critical judgement. Made thriftily on small budgets, the films were modest and spare in visual style but were generally well received critically, usually thanks to writerly screenplays and strong central performances. The dramas became an irregular but important staple of the BBC Four schedule, furnishing the channel with some of their highest ratings in a history chequered by low audience numbers.

    Civil War > Why did Britain become a republic? > New government Why did Britain become a republic? Case study 2: New government Even today many people are not aware that Britain was ever a republic. After Charles I was put to death in 1649, a monarch no longer led the country. Instead people dreamed up ideas and made plans for a different form of government. Find out more from these documents about what happened next.

This is a report from a committee of MPs to Parliament. It explains their actions against the leaders of the Levellers. One of the men they arrested was John Lilburne, a key figure in the Leveller movement. What’s the background to this source? Before the war of the 1640s it was difficult and dangerous to come up with new ideas and try to publish them. However, during the Civil War censorship was not strongly enforced. Many political groups emerged with new ideas at this time. One of the most radical (extreme) groups was the Levellers.

  • The Executive Power Clause
    ARTICLE THE EXECUTIVE POWER CLAUSE JULIAN DAVIS MORTENSON† Article II of the Constitution vests “the executive power” in the President. Advocates of presidential power have long claimed that this phrase was originally understood as a term of art for the full suite of powers held by a typical eighteenth- century monarch. In its strongest form, this view yields a powerful presumption of indefeasible presidential authority in the arenas of foreign affairs and national security. This so-called Vesting Clause Thesis is conventional wisdom among constitutional originalists. But it is also demonstrably wrong. Based on a comprehensive review of Founding-era archives—including records of drafting, legislative, and ratication debates, committee les, private and ocial correspondence, diaries, newspapers, pamphlets, poetry, and other publications—this Article not only refutes the Vesting Clause Thesis as a statement of the original understanding, but replaces it with a comprehensive armative account of the clause that is both historically and theoretically coherent. † James G. Phillipp Professor of law, University of Michigan.

  • The Governor Genera. and the Head of State Functions
    The Governor Genera. and the Head of State Functions THOMAS FRANCK* Lincoln, Nebraska In most, though by no means all democratic states,' the "Head o£ State" is a convenient legal and political fiction the purpose of which is to personify the complex political functions of govern- ment. What distinguishes the operations of this fiction in Canada is the fact that the functions of head of state are not discharged by any one person. Some, by legislative enactment, are vested in the Governor General. Others are delegated to the Governor General by the Crown. Still others are exercised by the Queen in person. A survey of these functions will reveal, however, that many more of the duties of the Canadian head of state are to-day dis- charged by the Governor General than are performed by the Queen. Indeed, it will reveal that some of the functions cannot be dis- charged by anyone else. It is essential that we become aware of this development in Canadian constitutional practice and take legal cognizance of the consequently increasing stature and importance of the Queen's representative in Canada. Formal Vesting of Head of State Functions in Constitutional Governments ofthe Commonnealth Reahns In most of the realms of the Commonwealth, the basic constitut- ional documents formally vest executive power in the Queen. Section 9 of the British North America Act, 1867,2 states: "The Executive Government and authority of and over Canada is hereby declared to continue and be vested in the Queen", while section 17 establishes that "There shall be one Parliament for Canada, consist- ing of the Queen, an Upper House, styled the Senate, and the *Thomas Franck, B.A., LL.B.

Doughty Street Chambers, London The Royal Commonwealth Society, London 1 June 2010 The Hon. Michael Kirby AC CMG DOUGHTY STREET CHAMBERS, LONDON DOUGHTY STREET LECTURE 2010 THE ROYAL COMMONWEALTH SOCIETY LONDON, 1 JUNE 2010 THE COMMONWEALTH OF NATIONS TODAY: HISTORICAL ANACHRONISM OR FOCUS FOR UNIVERSAL VALUES? The Hon. Michael Kirby AC CMG INTRODUCTION The British Empire, precursor to the Commonwealth of Nations, grew out of decisions, most of them made in London. It is a city that never ceases to surprise the visitor. Walking yesterday through Leicester Square, I came upon a landmark that I had never previously noticed. In the centre of that public space, circling a statue, is a series of indicators, pointing in the directions of the countries of the Commonwealth. The pointers occupy every segment of the circle, indicating that members of this unique family of nations, and their people, can be found in every corner of our world. I am a member of the last generation that grew up in the era of the British Empire. In my school days in Australia, every 24 May was celebrated as Empire Day. In 1954, at my high school in Sydney, I Justice of the High Court of Australia (1996-2009); President of the Court of Appeal of Solomon Islands (1995-6); Independent Co-chairman of the Malawi Constitutional Conference (1994); member of the ILO Mission to South Africa (1991-2). After this lecture was given, it was announced that Michael Kirby was appointed to the Eminent Persons Group on the future organisation of the Commonwealth of Nations.

  • Constitutional Experimentations and Failures in Modern China and France Alexandre Cholet Introduction
    Cross-Cultural Agenda Constitutional Experimentations and Failures in Modern China and France Cross-Cultural Agenda Constitutional Experimentations and Failures in Modern China and France Alexandre Cholet Introduction “A constitution may be defined as an organization of offices in a state, by which the method of their distribution is fixed, the sovereign authority is determined, and the nature of the end to be pursued by the association and all its members is prescribed. Laws, as distinct from the frame of the constitution, are the rules by which the magistrates should exercise their powers and should watch and check transgressors.” Thus wrote by Aristotle in his book Politics. Here he is drawing a definition of what is a Constitution, furthermore, of what is Constitutional politics. This definition is very general; however, Aristotle was the first influential philosopher to provide us with such a definition and that is why we decided to pick it. If we want a more legal definition of a Constitution, we can refer to Thomas Paine, a famous American revolutionary and intellectual: “A Constitution is a thing antecedent to Government, and a Government is only the Creature of a Constitution. The Constitution of a Country is not the act of its Government, but of the People constituting a Government. It is the Body of Elements to which you can refer and quote article by article; and which contains the principles upon which the Government shall be established, the manner in which it shall be organized, the powers it shall have, the Mode of Elections, the Duration of Parliaments, or by what other name such Bodies may be called; the powers which is the executive.”1In his thoughts about French Revolution, Thomas Paine is giving us a definition which is fitting our expectations because it draws the boundaries of our subject.

  • Essays on the Ineffectiveness of the Principle Of
    ESSAYS ON THE INEFFECTIVENESS OF THE PRINCIPLE OF SEPARATION OF POWERS ON THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE EXECUTIVE AND THE JUDICIARY AFTER CHANGE OF POLITICAL POWER IN SENEGAL. By Papa Fodé Kanté Drawing inspiration for democratic principles originating from the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789 which provides that « any society in which guarantee of rights is not ensured nor the separation of powers is determined does not have a Constitution »,1 and driven by the desire to establish a state governed by the rule of law, Senegal addressed in her constitution of 22nd January 2001 the principle of separation of powers. « Separation and balance of powers designed and exercised through democratic procedures... »2. The content of this principle is extremely simple: « Powers should not be concentrated in the same individual or on one group of individuals, there is need to distribute them among distinct organs; allocated to distinct constitutional organs the exercise of a specific social function ». It is this principle which Montesquieu put forward by stating that « when on the same person on the same body of judicature, the legislative power is joined together with the executive power, there is no freedom, because we can fear that the same monarch or the same senate will make tyrannical laws to be executed tyrannically ».This principle, contrary to a very well known opinion, Montesquieu had neither discovered it nor invented it. Indeed the doctrine of separation of powers was invented by Aristotle, taken over by Locke and systematized by Montesquieu who gave it current aura.

    Orders of the Day The Publication of the Association of Former MLAs of British Columbia Volume 24, Number 3 April 2018 Social change advocate moves into Gov. House BCHappy has a new Lieutenant Governor Holidays, Janet Austin. Austin is a remarkable community leader and advocate for social change. She has been serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Metro Vancouver YWCA, a position she has held since 2003. She follows Judith Guichon into Government House to take on what has been, until last year, a largely ceremonial five-year appointment. Guichon made headlines last June when she asked the NDP’s John Horgan to form government after no single party had won a majority. The announcement by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came March 20 as Governor General Julie Payette paid her first official visit to British Columbia. She was welcomed to Government House by Guichon. It would be Her Honour’s final bow. Incoming Lieutenant Governor Janet Austin Payette signed the guest book at Government House, leaving a sticker of her new coat of arms, which features a white wing to symbolize exploration, liberty and safety. Payette, a former astronaut, was the second Canadian woman to go into space and the first Canadian on board the International Space Station. The Prime Minister and Premier John Horgan thanked the outgoing Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon for her numerous contributions and her work to engage communities, non-profit organizations, and businesses across the province since taking office in 2012. Premier John Horgan and retiring Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon greet continued on Page 4 Governor General Julie Payette on her first official visit to BC.
