[[Image:Uk map crown dependency.png|thumb|Location of The Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey]] A British '''crown dependency''' is a special type of [[state]]. The head of state is the [[British monarch]], who is represented by a Lieutenant-Governor. Each dependency has a [[parliament]], [[government]] and [[prime minister]] to make all [[law]]s, except laws about [[defence]] and [[foreign affairs]]. Defence and foreign affairs are looked after by the [[British Government]]. But the British government in London has no power in the dependencies, unless the government of the dependency agrees. [[British Overseas Territories]], which were British [[colony|colonies]], also have a government, parliament and prime minister and can make laws, except laws about defence and foreign affairs; but they were created by the British government and can be taken over by the British government, without the agreement of the British Overseas Territory. The crown dependencies are *The [[Isle of Man]], *The Bailiwick of [[Jersey]], and *The Bailiwick of [[Guernsey]] == References == {{UK-stub}} [[Category:Crown dependencies| ]]
