In many Commonwealth jurisdictions, the phrase "peace, order, and good government" (POGG) is an expression used in law to express the legitimate objects of legislative powers conferred by statute.[1] The phrase appears in many Imperial Acts of Parliament and Letters Patent, most notably the constitutions of Barbados,[2] several of the British Overseas Territories,[3] Canada, Australia and formerly New Zealand and South Africa.
