Monarchy of Saint Kitts and Nevis : ウィキペディア英語版 | Monarchy of Saint Kitts and Nevis
Saint Kitts and Nevis is a constitutional monarchy in which a monarch is head of state. The present monarch is Elizabeth II,〔http://www.gov.kn/ct.asp?xItem=462&CtNode=58&mp=1〕 who is also Sovereign of the other Commonwealth realms.〔〔(The Monarchy Today > Queen and Commonwealth )〕 The Queen's constitutional roles are mostly delegated to the Governor-General of Saint Kitts and Nevis. Royal succession is governed by the English Act of Settlement of 1701, which is part of constitutional law.〔(Text of the Act of Settlement as originally passed ) (II. Rot. Parl. 12 & 13 Gul. III. p. 1. n. 2. )', ''Statutes of the Realm'': vol 7: 1695–1701 (1820), pp. 636–38.〕 From June 1983 the two islands of Saint Christopher (otherwise known as Saint Kitts) and of Nevis have been a sovereign democratic federal state which may be formally styled ''Saint Christopher and Nevis'' or ''Saint Kitts and Nevis'' or ''the Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis'' or ''the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis''.〔Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis Constitutional Order of 1983()〕 ==International and domestic role== One of the most complicated features of the Saint Kitts and Nevis Monarchy is that it is a shared monarchy. 53 states are members of the Commonwealth of Nations. Sixteen of these countries are specifically Commonwealth realms who recognise, individually, the same person as their Monarch and Head of State; Saint Kitts and Nevis is one of these.〔(The Monarchy Today > Queen and Commonwealth > Members )〕 Despite sharing the same person as their respective national monarch, each of the Commonwealth realms – including Saint Kitts and Nevis – is sovereign and independent of the others.
