The Commonwealth

Study note

The Commonwealth is an association of countries, most of which were once part of the British Empire. The King is its ceremonial head. The Commonwealth has no power over its members but supports shared values such as democracy, good government and the rule of law.

Memory tip: Commonwealth = former Empire countries; the King is head; it shares values, not laws.
