Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index In constitutional law, Advice is formal, usually binding instruction given by a constitutional officer of state to another. Heads of state in particular act on the basis of Advice (frequently capitalised to indicate a formal title of the act) issued by governments and prime ministers. Among the most prominent forms of Advice offered are: Advice to formally dissolve parliament. Advice to deliver formal statements, such as a Speech from the throne. In some isolated cases, constitutional Advice is not binding. For example, many heads of state may opt not to take Advice on a dissolution of parliament where the government has lost the confidence of parliament. This article is from Wikipedia.
