- Q508840 abstract "The Monarchy of Canada is the core of Canada's federalism, Westminster-style parliamentary democracy, and constitutional form of government, being the foundation of the executive (Queen-in-Council), legislative (Queen-in-Parliament), and judiciary (Queen-on-the-Bench) in the federal and each provincial jurisdiction. The Canadian sovereign is the personification of the Canadian state and, as a matter of constitutional law, is Canada. The current Canadian monarch, since 6 February 1952, is Queen Elizabeth II. Her son, Prince Charles, is heir apparent; succession is determined by descent, legitimacy, religion, and common law.Although the person of the sovereign is equally shared with 15 other independent countries within the Commonwealth of Nations, each country's monarchy is separate and legally distinct. As a result, the current monarch is officially titled Queen of Canada and, in this capacity, she, her consort, and other members of the Canadian Royal Family undertake public and private functions domestically and abroad as representatives of Canada. However, the Queen is the only member of the Royal Family with any constitutional role. Most of the monarch's governmental and ceremonial duties in Canada are carried out by her representative, the Governor General of Canada, although several powers are the sovereign's alone. In each of Canada's provinces, the monarch is represented by a lieutenant governor. As the territories are not sovereign, they do not have a viceroy.While some of the monarch's powers are exercisable by the monarch alone (such as appointing governors general), nearly all are exercised by the governor general as the monarch's representative (such as summoning the House of Commons and accrediting ambassadors). Further, Royal Assent to bills is required to make them into law, and the royal sign-manual is required for letters patent and orders in council. While the power for these acts stems from the Canadian people through the constitutional conventions of democracy, executive authority remains vested in the Crown and is only entrusted by the sovereign to their government on behalf of the people, underlining the Crown's role in safeguarding the rights, freedoms, and democratic system of government of Canadians, and reinforcing the fact that "governments are the servants of the people and not the reverse". Thus, within a constitutional monarchy the sovereign's direct participation in any of these areas of governance is limited, with the sovereign normally exercising executive authority only on the advice of the executive committee of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada, and with the sovereign's legislative and judicial responsibilities carried out by Canadian parliamentarians and judges and justices of the peace. The Crown today primarily functions as a guarantor of continuous and stable governance and a nonpartisan safeguard against abuse of power, the sovereign acting as a custodian of the Crown's democratic powers and a representation of the "power of the people above government and political parties".Canada is one of the oldest continuing monarchies in the world. Initially established during the 16th century, monarchical governance thenceforth evolved under a continuous succession of French and British sovereigns and eventually the independently Canadian sovereigns of today, whose institution is sometimes colloquially referred to as the Maple Crown.".
