proclamation| Constitutional mode of declaring the will of the chief executive of a state. All British proclamations are made by the monarch as an order in council and must pass under the great seal. For the most part proclamations can be binding on the subject only in so far as they are based on the law of the land. |
| Proclamations are principally used for declarations of war, peace, or state of emergency, for proroguing, dissolving, and summoning Parliament, and on ceremonial occasions such as the accession of the monarch. |
