In a constitutional monarchy, there are elected representatives, called parliament, and a king or a queen. The king or queen has no real power, they are more of a symbol of the country. He or she is called the monarch. Parliament has the power and controls the government. They create laws, or “Acts of Parliament”, and the king or queen announces them. They are voted for by the citizens of the country. The United Kingdom is one example of a constitutional monarchy.

Also in 4500 BC the first pottery was created, stone tools are made, and shelters are created and are being created more stable.
