King-in-Parliament

King-in-parliament (or, during the reign of a female monarch, Queen-in-parliament, or gender-neutrally Crown-in-parliament) is a constitutional law concept used within Commonwealth realms that refers to the Crown in its legislative role, acting with the advice and consent of the parliament (including, if the parliament is bicameral, both the lower house and upper house). Bills passed by the houses are sent to the sovereign or their representative (such as the or governor-general, lieutenant-governor, or governor), for royal assent in order to enact them into laws as Acts of parliament. An Act may also provide for secondary legislation, which can be made by executive officers of the Crown, although subject to the simple approval or dissallowance by parliament.
