Extract

“The group of self-governing communities composed of Great Britain and the Dominions, are autonomous communities within the British Empire, equal in status, in no way subordinate one to another in any aspect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by a common allegiance to the Crown, and freely associated as members of the British Commonwealth of Nations.”—From the Imperial Conference Report of 1926.
