Best Answer

The Head of State that is, the King (or in this era: the Queen) was in modern terms the highest executive and judicial figure in the land with near-absolute power. In her day, Parliament met only intermittently and it could be sent home and simply be not convened for considerable periods if it in some way incurred the Queen's displeasure. Its main power derived from the fact that it had budgetary powers which it could invoke when the regular existing taxes were insufficient for the Queen's needs at any point. The Queen had ministers, but these were answerable to her, not to Parliament.
