Abstract
The decline of the British Empire also involved the decline of the British monarch's governmental powers. This work proposes that Queen Elizabeth II, though reigning during the erosion of practical powers, maintained abstract powers through moral authority and virtuous symbolic representation. The work argues that this allowance of one person to retain sovereignty in abstract powers evokes contemplations surrounding the virtuous symbolic representation of the Christ King.
