Royal Assent
Royal assent is the method by which a monarch formally approves an act of the legislature, either directly or through an official acting on the monarch's behalf. In some jurisdictions, royal assent is equivalent to promulgation, while in others that is a separate step. Under a modern constitutional monarchy, royal assent is considered little more than a formality. Even in nations such as the United Kingdom, Norway, the Netherlands, Liechtenstein and Monaco which still, in theory, permit their monarch to withhold assent to laws, the monarch almost never does so, except in a dire political emergency or on advice of government. While the power to veto by withholding royal assent was once exercised often by European monarchs, such an occurrence has been very rare since the eighteenth century. Royal assent is typically associated with elaborate ceremony. In the United Kingdom the Sovereign may appear personally in the House of Lords or may appoint Lords Commissioners, who anno ...

Act Of Uniformity 1552
The Act of Uniformity 1551, sometimes referred to as the Act of Uniformity 1552, or the Uniformity Act 1551 was an act of the Parliament of England. It was enacted by Edward VI of England to supersede his previous Act of Uniformity 1548 ( 2 & 3 Edw. 6. c. 1). It was one of the last steps taken by the 'boy king' and his councillors to make England a more Protestant country before his death the following year. It replaced the 1549 ''Book of Common Prayer'' authorised by the Act of Uniformity 1548 ( 2 & 3 Edw. 6. c. 1) with a revised and more clearly Protestant version, the 1552 ''Book of Common Prayer''. Cranmer, the principal author of both the 1549 and 1552 versions of the liturgy maintained that there was no theological difference between the two. Anyone who attended or administered a service where this liturgy was not used faced six months imprisonment for a first offence, one year for a second offence, and life for a third. The act was repealed by Mary in 1553. Litu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
