章節(jié)摘錄

　　The term Constitutional Monarchy may seem surprising in view of the which the British have for Queen Elizabeth, the great ceremonies connected great state functions over which she presides, the oaths of loyalty made to her by Parliament, and the many great decisions made in her name and requiring her authority. It is the Queen who approves the appointment of Ministers and the formation of a cabinet;　it is the Queen who summons Parliament and who introduces the new session with a speech from the Throne in which she summarizes the governments program; it is the Queen who gives her assent to Bills before they become law, who concludes treaties and declares war, who makes appointments to all offices of State and Church, who dismisses Parliament when the government has been defeated or has reached the end of its term, and who chooses a new Prime Minister Indeed, she is informed and consulted on every aspect of national life. And yet it remains true that she has no power. For in practice, she acts only on the advice of her Ministers, and must be completely impartial. The Queen never refuses her assent, because she knows this would be unconstitutional. In any case, she has no means of enforcing her will.　　Most British people regard the Monarchy as a long-established tradition, which, with all its color and pageantry and with all the feelings of personal respect which it inspires, they would be most unwilling to lose. The British love tradition; the Queen represents much that is traditiona.　　New traditions are soon established to　fit into modern developments; for example, the Queen is seen on television every year, broadcasting a Christmas message to the nation. She enjoys country life and sports, and she is interested in horseracing, pursuits much loved by many ordinary Britons.　The Queen sets an example of good family life.　　More than this, the Monarch is the only unchangeable symbol of Britain itself Politicians come and go according to elections won or lost, and at any given moment every politician always determines opponents among those who do not belong to his own party. But the Monarch is always there, above party quarrels, representing the nation as a whole, and lending dignity and significance to all things done in her name.
