CASES OF THE KING S PREROGATIVE. 



The kings prerogative in Parliament. 



1 . The king hath an absolute negative voice to 

 all bills that pass the parliament, so as without 

 his royal assent they have a mere nullity, and not 

 so much as &quot; authoritas praescripta,&quot; as &quot; senatus 

 &quot; consulta&quot; had, notwithstanding the intercession of 

 tribunes. 



*2, The king may summon parliaments, dissolve 

 them, adjourn and prorogue them at his pleasure.
