This book is a comprehensive review and analysis of the reserve
powers and their exercise by heads of state in countries that have
Westminster systems. It addresses the powers of the Queen in the
United Kingdom, those of her vice-regal representatives, and those
of heads of state in the less studied realms and former colonies
that are now republics. Drawing on a vast range of previously
unpublished archival and primary material, The Veiled Sceptre
contains fresh perspectives on old controversies. It also reveals
constitutional crises in small countries, which have escaped the
notice of most scholars. This book places the exercises of reserve
powers within the context of constitutional principle and analyses
how heads of state should act when constitutional principles
conflict. Providing an unrivalled contemporary analysis of reserve
powers, it will appeal to constitutional scholars worldwide and
others involved in the administration of systems of responsible
government.
