Constitutional Role
The Tuvaluan constitution is made up of a variety of statutes and conventions that are either British or Tuvaluan origin, which gives Tuvalu a similar parliamentary system of government as the other Commonwealth realms.
All powers of state are constitutionally reposed in the Monarch, who is represented by the Governor General of Tuvalu – appointed by the Monarch upon the advice of the Prime Minister of Tuvalu. The Monarch is informed of the Prime Minister's decision before the Governor General gives Royal Assent.
