The Bodies of Government in the United Kingdom.

 

Great Britain is a monarchy, but it is not absolute but constitutional. Queen’s powers are limited by Parliament. Queen’s power is hereditary, not elective.

In practice the Monarch has no actual power. The Prime Minister is the virtual ruler of the country. The Prime minister who is usually the leader of the majority party in the House of Commons forms the government. He takes policy decisions with the agreement of his Cabinet. The Cabinet of Ministers whose members are appointed by the prime Minister exercises the executive power.

The supreme legislative authority in Britain is Parliament, which consists of the Sovereign, the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The House of Commons has most of power within Parliament, its members are elected unlike those of the House of Lords.

Effective power belongs to the Government, which is part of parliament and responsible to it. Members of the Government are not elected by the House of Commons, but nominated by the Prime Minister.

The judicial power in the UK consists of a system of courts spread throughout the country. The highest judicial body in the English judicial system is the House of Lords of Appeals consisting of five law lords.

THE MAGNA CARTA

At the heart of the English system are two principles of government – limited government and representative government. The idea that government was not all-powerful first appeared in the Magna Carta, or Great Charter, that King John signed in 1915 under the threat of civil war.

Earlier kings of England had issued charters, making promises to their barons. But these were granted by, not exacted from the king and were very generally phrased. Later the tension between the Kings and the nobility increased. Since 1199 John's barons had to be promised their rights. It is, therefore, not surprising that Stephen Langton, archbishop of Canterbury, directed baronial unrest into a demand for a solemn grant of liberties by the king. The document known as the Articles of the Barons was at last agreed upon and became the text from which the final version of the charter was drafted and sealed by John on June 15, 1215.

The Magna Carta established the principle of limited government, in which the power of the monarch, or government, was limited, not absolute. This document provided for protection against unjust punishment and the loss of life, liberty, and property except according to law. It stipulated that no citizen could be punished or kept in prison without a fair trial. Under the Magna Carta, the king agreed that certain taxes could not be levied without popular consent.

Although the Magna Carta was originally intended to protect aristocracy and not the ordinary citizens, it came in time to be regarded as a cornerstone of British liberties. It is one of the oldest written constitutional papers.

II. Answer the following questions.

 

1. What were the two basic principles of the English system of government at the beginning of the 13^th century? How do you understand these principles?

2. What political situation necessitated the granting of the Magna Carta?

3. What provisions did the Magna Carta contain?

4. Who enjoyed the rights granted by the Magna Carta?

 

III. Render the following passage into English.

Великая Хартия Вольностей – это грамота, подписанная в 1215 английским королем Иоанном I. Она составлена на ла­тинском языке и содержит 63 статьи. Этот документ был под­писан в результате недовольства баронов усилением королев­ской власти, налоговым гнетом и неудачной внешней полити­кой короля. Большинство статей отражало и защищало инте­ресы аристократии. Однако другие сословия также получили значительные права.

Великая Хартия Вольностей сыграла важнейшую роль в английской истории. Она и сейчас входит в число действующих актов конституции Великобритании.
