worth a big fine. It's unclear, however, exactly who will this penalty charge.
-In new Orleans prohibited tethering to fire hydrants crocodiles.
-In Alabama the death penalty was threatened to those who will sprinkle salt on

10. Interesting facts about the state structure of great Britain

Britain is a unitary state with a parliamentary monarchy. Queen Elizabeth II is
head of state of the United Kingdom and monarch of fifteen other
independent Commonwealth countries. Had formed a wrong opinion that the
monarch has a symbolic rather than political role and only has "the right to be
consulted, right to encourage and right to warn", but it should be noted that
the monarch is in charge of all three branches of government, has the right
to dissolve Parliament, appoints Ministers, and as commander in chief has the
right to declare war on other countries. Britain has no Constitution as a single
document, as only four countries in the world — New Zealand, Israel and
San Marino. The British Constitution consists mostly of a collection of
disparate written sources, including statutes, judge-made case law and
international treaties, together with constitutional conventions. Since there is
no technical difference between ordinary statutes and "constitutional law" the
UK Parliament can perform "constitutional reform" simply by adopting
another law, and thus has the ability to change or abolish almost any written
or unwritten element of the Constitution. However, it is worth noting that
neither the Parliament cannot pass a law that the next convocation would not
be able to change.
