Cevap
The correct answer is that Royal Assent is a formal ceremony where the Monarch signs the Bill into law, but does not have the political power to refuse assent.
In the United Kingdom's constitutional monarchy, Royal Assent is the final stage of the legislative process. While it is legally necessary for a Bill to be signed by the Monarch to become Statute Law, this role is entirely formal and ceremonial. By long-standing constitutional rule, the Monarch does not refuse to sign a Bill that has been properly passed by both the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
