The '''Monarchy of Pakistan''' was the form of government of the [[Dominion of Pakistan]] from 1947 to 1956. Under this system, Pakistan was an [[Independence|independent]] [[Commonwealth realm]] with a [[Hereditary monarchy|hereditary]], [[Constitutional monarchy|constitutional monarch]] as the [[head of state]].<ref>[http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/438805/Pakistan Pakistan, Britannica Online Encyclopedia]</ref> The monarch was the monarch of the [[Monarchy of the United Kingdom|United Kingdom]], and was also shared with a number of other countries. The role of the monarch was defined under the [[Constitution of Pakistan|Constitution]]. Most of the monarch's duties were carried out by the [[Governor-General of Pakistan]].

The monarchy of Pakistan was created by the [[Indian Independence Act 1947|Indian Independence Act]] of 1947. This act, made by the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]], [[Partition of India|divided]] its [[British Raj|British India]] into two new countries: [[India]] and Pakistan, each of which became an independent constitutional monarchy. [[Line of succession to the British throne|Succession]] to the throne of Pakistan was, like that of the United Kingdom, governed by the [[Act of Settlement 1701]].

Pakistan Adopted a [[Constitution of Pakistan|New constitution]] on the 23rd of March in 1956. This constitution [[wikt:abolish|abolished]] the monarchy, making Pakistan a [[Republic]] in the [[Commonwealth of Nations]]. Pakistan left the Commonwealth on the 30th of January in 1972 over the Rebellious issue of the former [[East Pakistan]] province becoming a separate Independent Bangladesh. It re-joined on the 1st of October in 1989, then was [[Suspension from the Commonwealth of Nations|Suspended from the Commonwealth]] twice: firstly from the 18th of October in 1999 to the 22nd of May in 2004 and secondly from the 22nd of November in 2007 to the 22nd of May in 2008-present.
