Answer England is one of the four countries which make up The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The others are the Kingdom of Scotland, the Principality of Wales and the Province of Northern Ireland. It is often abbreviated as "The United Kingdom" or just "The UK." The form of government of the UK is a Constitutional Monarchy which, in brief means that the monarch is subject to the same laws as everyone else. The UK does not have a written constitution - its laws are made up of precedents and case law as well as laws enacted by Parliament. The monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II, does not make decisions about government policy, the country is governed by an elected Parliament under the Prime Minister and a cabinet of ministers with responsibility for specialist areas such as health, education, employment and many others. Thus while the Queen is the Head of State, and most government actions such as criminal prosecutions are done in her name, she plays a mainly ceremonial role in the government of the country.
