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:
“Women’s battle for financial equality has barely been joined, much less won. Society still traditionally assigns to woman the role of money-handler rather than money-maker, and our assigned specialty is far more likely to be home economics than financial economics.”
—Paula Nelson (b. 1945)
