Commonwealth of Britain Bill : ウィキペディア英語版 | Commonwealth of Britain Bill The Commonwealth of Britain Bill was a bill first introduced in 1991 by Tony Benn, then a Labour Member of Parliament in the House of Commons. It proposed abolishing the British monarchy, with the United Kingdom becoming a "democratic, federal and secular Commonwealth of Britain", or in effect a republic with a codified constitution. It was read in Parliament a number of times until Benn's retirement in 2001, but never achieved a second reading. Under the Bill: *The monarchy would be abolished and the constitutional status of the Crown ended; *The Church of England would be disestablished; *The head of state would be a President, elected by a joint sitting of both Houses of the Commonwealth Parliament; *The functions of the Royal Prerogative would be transferred to Parliament; *The Privy Council would be abolished, and replaced by a Council of State; *The House of Lords would be replaced by an elected House of the People, with equal representation of men and women; *The House of Commons would similarly have equal representation of men and women; *England, Scotland and Wales would have their own devolved National Parliaments with responsibility for devolved matters as agreed; *County Court judges and magistrates would be elected; and *British jurisdiction over Northern Ireland would be ended. ==See also==
