Commonwealth Realm: Encyclopedia - Commonwealth Realm

A Commonwealth Realm is any one of the 16 sovereign states of the Commonwealth that recognise Queen Elizabeth II as their Queen and head of state. In each Realm, she acts as the monarch of that state, and is titled accordingly. For example, in Barbados, she is known as "Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Barbados", or, simply, the Queen of Barbados (See List of Titles and Honours of Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom). Outside the United Kingdom, the Queen, on the advice of the prime minister of each Realm, appoints a Gov ...

Commonwealth Realm: Encyclopedia II - Commonwealth Realm - Constitutional implications

Commonwealth Realm - Historical development. Before 1926, the monarch of the United Kingdom had nominally reigned over the Dominions as a single imperial domain, with a governor-general representing the British government. The Dominions were self-governing, but their ability to legislate remained theoretically subject to the British Parliament. Even though the Dominions were members of the League of Nations, the United Kin ...

Commonwealth Realm: Encyclopedia - British Empire

The British Empire was the world's first global power and the largest empire in history. It was a product of the European Age of Discovery that began with the global maritime empires of Portugal and Spain in the late 15th century. By 1921 the British Empire held sway over a population of about 470–570 million people—roughly a quarter of the world's population—and covered about 14.3 million square miles (more than 37 million km²), almost a third of the world's total land area. Though it has since almost completely disappeared, t ...

Commonwealth Realm: Encyclopedia - Dominion

A Dominion is a wholly self-governing or virtually self-governing state of the British Empire or British Commonwealth, particularly one which reached that stage of constitutional development in the late 19th and early 20th centuries such as Canada and New Zealand. Prior to attaining Dominion status these states had always been Crown colonies, under direct rule from Britain and/or a self-governing colony, or they have been formed from groups of such colonies. However, the phrase Her Majesty's dominions (small d) is a legal and constitutional term used to refer to all the realms and territorie ...

Commonwealth Realm: Encyclopedia - Colonialism

Colonialism is the extension of a nation's sovereignty over territory and people outside its own boundaries, often to facilitate economic domination over their resources, labor, and markets. The term also refers to a set of beliefs used to legitimize or promote this system, especially the belief that the mores of the colonizer are superior to those of the colonized. Advocates of colonialism argue that colonial rule benefits the colonized by developing the economic and political infrastructure necessary for modernization and dem ...

Commonwealth Realm: Encyclopedia II - Realm of New Zealand - Sovereignty within the Realm

Realm of New Zealand - Cook Islands and Niue. Both the Cook Islands and Niue are said to be self-governing in free association with New Zealand. The New Zealand Parliament is not empowered to unilaterally pass legislation in respect of these countries. In foreign affairs and defence issues New Zealand often acts on behalf of these countries but only with their advice and consent.

Commonwealth Realm: Encyclopedia II - British Empire - Background: The English and Scottish Empires

British Empire - The Anglo-Norman Kingdom. In 1066, William, Duke of Normandy, (also known as William the Bastard because he was the product of an affair his father had with a tanner's daughter), conquered England and asserted his right to be king, giving England its first overseas territory (Normandy). The new rulers had dual roles. First, as kings of England they were sovereign lords. Second, as dukes of Normandy, they were vassals of the kings of France. This led to centuries of conflicts which ended with their loss of French holdings in 1558. In the mea ...

Commonwealth Realm: Encyclopedia II - Dominion - Historical development

The short-lived Dominion of New England (1686–89) was not a Dominion in the later, generally-accepted sense of the word. It had an unpopular and autocratic president, appointed by London, Sir Edmund Andros. The Dominion of New England did not have the independence from Britain that the later Dominions were given. All the colonies of British North America became self-governing between 1848 and 1855, except the colony of Vancouver Island. Nova Scotia was the first colony to achieve responsible government in January-February 1848 throu ...

The original phrase "common wealth" or "the common weal" is a calque translation of the Latin term res publica ('public matters'), from which the word republic comes, which was itself used as a synonym for the greek politeia as well as for the republican (i.e. non-monarchical) Roman constitution (in legal theory still in force during the empire, see Principate). The English noun Commonwealth dates originally from the fifteenth century and in different contexts indicates: a political unit ...
