The granting of Royal Assent is the formal method by which a constitutional monarch completes the legislative process of lawmaking by formally assenting to an Act of Parliament. While the power to withhold Royal Assent was once exercised often， it has not been employed in a modern， democratic political atmosphere since the 18th century. The power remains as one of the reserve powers of the monarch.
【注】 在英国，经下议院、上议院一致同意（或者依照法律可以不经上议院同意）的议案呈交君主御准（Royal Assent），君主给予正式的同意，议案因此成为法案。御准日期（Date of Royal Assent）及君主同意议案成为法案的日期。它与该法的生效日期不同。
根据1707年以来确立的惯例，君主从不拒绝批准一份已经由议会两院通过的议案。1707年安妮女王拒绝批准一项议案，这也是英国君主最后一次拒绝批准议案。
