The person in whom is invested the supreme executive power of the government of Great Britain. 2. Sovereign power; government; commonwealth; state. Compare Rex. The crown is hereditaiy, in the feudal path for succession to landed estates as marked out by the common law; but this does not imply an indefeasible right. Therefore, in his political capacity, the king never dies.* ' His duty is to govern according to law;. disobedience to his command is a high contempt or a misprision.2 As the fountain of justice, he is always ubiquitous — always present in his courts; hence he cannot be non-suit, and does not appear by attorney.^ He is the steward of the public, to dispense justice to whomsoever it is due.* In foreign affairs he represents the nation: sends and receives ambassadors; makes treaties; proclaims war, and peace; issues reprisals, grants, safe-conducts. In domestic affairs he is part of the supreme legislative power: may negative a new law, and is bound by none unless specially named; is the general of the kingdom — raises armies, defends the kingdom; confines subjects within the realm, recalls them from abroad; is the general conservator of the peace — erects courts, prosecutes offenders, pardons crimes, issues proclamations; is the fountain of office and privilege; is the arbiter of domestic commerce — erects marts, regulates weights and measures and the coinage of money; and is the supreme head of the church — convenes and dissolves synods, nominates bishops, and receives appeals. His revenue is ordinary: ecclesiastical and temporal— from demesne lands of the crown, from the Courts of justice, royal fish, wrecks, jetsam, flotsam, ligan, royal mines, treasure-trove, waifs, estrays, forfeitures for offenses and for deodands; from escheats, and from the custody of lunatics; and extraordinary: aids, subsidies granted by the Commons — now a tax, charged with the civil list, and with which the expenses of the civil government are defi'ayed.^ In the kfing there can be no negligence; no delay bars his right.' See Tempus, Nullum, etc. " The king can do no wrong." This means either that whatever is excep'tional in the conduct of public > 1 Bl. Com. 191, 193, 196. 2 1B1. Com. 23.3; 4 id. 122. »1B1.

The maxim has no place in our systems of constitutional law. The Constitution admits that heads of departments may do wrong, and provides for their impeachment.* A wrong attempted in the name of a State is imputable to its government. 8 Statutes of parliament are generally cited by the name and the year of the sovereign in whose reign they were passed.
