What King Charles the III coronation actually means to us the people.
What the BBC and the rest of the media as a whole, didn't tell us the people, in their coverage of his coronation.
The Kings Coronation. King Charles the III son of Elizabeth the II, like his mother did, took the oath on Saturday 6th of May, 2023, as have all Monarch's past done so. Queen Elizabeth the II took her oath on the 2nd of June 1953.
When the King as did his mother took the oath, the meaning in the oath taken, is to uphold Gods law and to protect the people that they rein over. In modern day terms this in known as the protection of the Crown.
I challenge you to Google, or go to the Governments website and do a search for the Protection of the Crown.
Good luck! Google - Gov.uk
In the first part of the Coronation, the taking of oath, an oath which binds his Majesty to the service of her peoples, and to the maintenance of the laws of God. The King escorted by the Bishop's as in ancient tradition, goes to the alter. There laying his hand upon the Bible, he reaffirms her oath saying, "the things which I have hear before promised, I will perform and keep, so help me God." She then kisses the Bible.
His Majesty now signs parchment copy of the oath. This being the Kings only written contract with her people.
"And will you preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of England, and to the Churches there committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them?"
King Charles the III; "All this I promise to do."
The King places his hand on the Bible and says.
"The things which I have here before promised, I will perform and keep. So help me God."
The King kisses the Bible.
King Charles the III; I am willing.
"I Charles do solemnly and sincerely in the presence of God profess, testify, and declare that I am a faithful Protestant, and that I will, according to the true intent of the enactments which secure the Protestant succession to the Throne, uphold and maintain the said enactments to the best of my powers according to law."
The King signs copies of the Oaths, presented by the Lord Chamberlain, whilst the choir sings
Prevent us, O Lord, in all our doings with thy most gracious favour, and further us with thy continual help; that in all our works begun, continued, and ended in thee, we may glorify thy holy name, and finally by thy mercy obtain everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
William Byrd (c 1540–1623) The Book of Common Prayer 1549
The King kneels before the Altar and says;
"God of compassion and mercy whose Son was sent not to be served but to serve, give grace that I may find in thy service perfect freedom and in that freedom knowledge of thy truth. Grant that I may be a blessing to all thy children, of every faith and belief, that together we may discover the ways of gentleness and be led into the paths of peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
The King returns to the Chair of Estate and sits.
The words in Kings Coronation address us, the people?

Ethical codes are supposed to serve as guidelines within specific professions or communities, complement the legal and moral landscape, fostering responsible conduct in society.
Enforcement and regulation, whether through legal or ethical means, are crucial for upholding these standards. Legal systems employ coercive measures, including the threat of punishment, while ethical codes rely on peer scrutiny, professional censure, and reputation management.
The integration of legal and ethical enforcement mechanisms should creates a robust framework that addresses various dimensions of human behaviour, striving to foster a just and ethical society.
