King

A quick definition of King:

Term: KING

Definition: A king is a ruler who governs a country. In English law, the term "King" is often used to refer to the British government or the Crown. This is because the King represents the body politic, which is the group of people who make up the government. We use the term "Crown" to refer to the property and debts that belong to the King in his role as the head of the government. This makes it easier to talk about the government as a whole, rather than just one person.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In English law, the term "King" refers to the British government or the Crown. In modern times, it is more common to use the term "Crown" when referring to the King in his public capacity as a body politic. For example, we speak of the property of the Crown, debts due by the Crown, and legal proceedings by and against the Crown. This usage is convenient because it helps to distinguish between the body politic and the human being who represents it.

Example: When we talk about the property of the Crown, we mean the property that the King holds in right of his Crown. This could include land, buildings, or other assets that are owned by the government.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the term "Crown" is used to refer to the King's property in his public capacity. By using this term, we can avoid confusion between the King as a human being and the King as a representative of the government.
