Constitutional Role
The role of the Sovereign's representative, the Governor-general, is determined by the Constitution of Grenada (1973) and the constitutional conventions of the Westminster system of parliamentary government. The Governor-general is appointed by the Monarch upon the advice of the Prime Minister of Grenada. The Monarch is informed of the Prime Minister's decision before the Governor General gives Royal Assent. The power to appoint the Prime Minister and other constitutional powers are exclusively vested in the Governor General and not the Queen herself. As such, the Queen herself does not excerise reserve powers.

Famous quotes containing the word role:
“Our role is to support anything positive in black life and destroy anything negative that touches it. You have no other reason for being. I don’t understand art for art’s sake. Art is the guts of the people.”
—Elma Lewis (b. 1921)
