The King, or Queen if a woman, is the highest authority in Quebec. It occupies the Moderator power, which is responsible for keeping the harmony between the other powers. The King has enormous power for such, but don't use such power unless requested or in the event of a national emergency. It is his prerogative to choose the Prime Minister, judges of the Supreme Court of Justice and Senators. However, he is bound by a "gentlemen agreement" to chose the Prime Minister as recommended by the Chamber of Deputies, mostly the party with most seats; appoint judges at the recommendation of the Prime Minister and choose one of the four most elected for the position of Senator.

The person of the monarch is, under the constitution of 1876, inviolable. (Constitution based on the French one of 1871). Yet this does not mean he can't be charged with criminal offenses. Rather, as the interpretation of the deputies, it means that if a King commits a crime, it has the same effect of an abdication. The heir of the Kingdom is always the first male son of the monarch. If he only have female daughters, they can be heir of the throne. Should the King have no issue, it will be traced back one generation, with the same rules: preference of the first male issue.

Should the throne not be occupied, because of death of the monarch or any other problem that stop an King from ruling, yet the heir is uncapable, because of age or other reason, a regent shall be chosen by the senators. He will rule until a King, or Queen, assume the throne.
