How does a monarch create laws?
An absolute monarch simply issues a decree. Whatever the monarch proclaims is automatically the law. In a limited monarchy, there is a parliament that makes laws, but the laws are then approved by the monarch. This is how the government of Great Britain functions. By tradition, Queen Elizabeth II will approve of any laws that Parliament passes; she does not exercise a veto. Even so, her approval is always required, if only for ceremonial purposes. In Canada, where Queen Elizabeth II is also the official head of state, laws are approved by the Governor General, who acts on behalf of the Queen.
