The Origin of British Prime Minister System

The head of the British cabinet. Traditionally, the king of England will appoint the leader of the parliamentary majority. After Britain established a constitutional monarchy, George I, the elector of Hanover, Germany, succeeded to the British throne in 17 14. Because of his ignorance of English and British affairs, he stopped attending cabinet meetings from 17 17.

17 14, Queen Anne of England died childless. Before George I, there were fifty nobles who were more closely related to Queen Anne.

But they are all Catholics and cannot inherit the British throne. George I is the closest Protestant aristocrat to Queen Anne. Therefore, according to the will of 17 14, he succeeded to the British throne and became the first king of Hanover royal family. He is also a king whose mother tongue is German and who can't speak fluent English.

He appointed robert walpole, the leader of Whig Party, as the head of the cabinet, and did not attend the cabinet meeting himself. From then on, it set a precedent for the British monarch not to attend the meeting, which was presided over by the trusted minister ordered by the king, which became the beginning of the British prime minister system.
