The Queen-in-Council (during the reign of a male monarch, King-in-Council) is the technical term of constitutional law for the exercise of executive authority in a Commonwealth realm, denoting the monarch acting by and with the advice and consent of his or her privy council (in the United Kingdom and Canada's federal jurisdiction) or executive council (in most other Commonwealth realms and in Canadian provinces). In those realms and dependencies where the Queen's powers and functions are delegated to a governor-general, lieutenant governor, or governor, the Queen-in-Council may be replaced by a ''Governor-General-in-Council'', ''Lieutenant-Governor-in-Council'', or ''Governor-in-Council'', respectively. "The government of (HREF="http://www.kotoba.ne.jp/word/11/jurisdiction" TITLE="jurisdiction">jurisdiction'' )" is commonly used as a synonym for any of the aforementioned terms, though the phrase may mean more than one thing in certain areas. In practice, the Queen-in-Council almost always gives formal effect to decisions made by the cabinet, a subcommittee of the privy or executive council that includes the senior ministers of the Crown and meets often without the Queen or her local representative. An order made by the Queen-in-Council is known as an ''Order-in-Council'', and such actions are subject to judicial review. Orders-in-Council may be used to implement secondary legislation such as UK Statutory Instruments. Former Commonwealth realms and dependencies often retain a similar constitutional concept; for example, ''President-in-Council''〔(Constituent Assembly of India debates (IV:12) ). ''Parliament of India''〕〔Subhash C. Kashyap. ("The President's Powers" ). ''The Hindu''. 25 July 2002〕 or ''Chief Executive-in-Council''.〔''Adaption of Laws (Interpretive Provisions) Ordinance'' 1998 (Hong Kong)〕 Similar concepts can also be found in some non-Commonwealth countries.〔Juliet Edeson (1998).
