This book explores the nature of the Crown in its legal and political context. Here the term The Crown is being used, not as a direct reference to the Queen but, as a reference to the central power of the State which exercises legal and political authority. It is a surprising fact that the nature of the Crown has not been the object of extensive literature with pride of place on constitutional law courses. The nature of the Crown has been taken for granted, in part because it is so fundamental and in part because many academics have no idea what the term The Crown amounts to. This book aims to redress this state of affairs by drawing together in one book a collection of essays that explores what the Crown is, or might be, and the critical issues relating to it.
The Crown refers to the authority of Government and the very entity of Government. All the people going about the Governments business, Ministers of the Crown and civil servants do so under the cloak of the Crown with its powers and immunities. The idea of democracy may appear central to our political arrangements but the legal facts are that the Crown subsists not merely as the power: it is the state. If the legal facts of our political arrangements clash with our individual beliefs about democracy then that clash is of the highest importance.

In 1791 Thomas Paine asked 'What is this metaphor called a Crown . . . Is it a thing, or is it a name or is it a fraud?' In answering these questions this book demonstrates why understanding the Crown matters to anyone who wants to comprehend the powers and privileges of the Executive in the United Kingdom and the nature of the state in this constitution.This book is written by some of the leading constitutional lawyers in the United Kingdom and its scholarship and ideas will prove invaluable during this period of major constitutional upheaval.
