All I know is that England has a constitutional monarchy.

AnswerThe United Kingdom now has a constitutional government, elected by the people. The different parts of the United Kingdom have recently devolved and now have their own parliaments in matters of regional interest, for example some laws in Scotland are now different to those in England, however all matters of national and international government are still held by the UK government in Whitehall.

In the Medieval period the structure was very different, we now have a constitutional monarchy. The Queen is head of state but holds no power, up until the mid 17th century the monarch was an absolute monarch - they had complete control of the affairs of state. They had a council, chosen by the monarch who would advise and action, but it was the monarch who had the overall power and deciding vote so to speak - (very regularly members of the council would find themselves on the block - Thomas Cromwell being a good example)
