WHAT IS A MONARCHY?

A monarchy is a government with a monarch, a man or woman who is the sole head of state and holds office for life. (Commonly called a King or Queen) The monarchy is often, but not always, passed from parent to child. Originally, a (absolute) monarch had supreme authority and was truly the ruler of the land.

Today, Monarchy generally refers to a state that has a royal family and a hereditary head of state. In these states, the monarch’s role in rulership has been reduced and the country operates under a constitution. (Constitutional Monarchy vs Absolute Monarchy) In its purest form, monarchies are one of the oldest known forms of government originating long before the beginning of written history. WHAT IS A MONARCHY?

Continued Characteristics of an (Absolute) Monarchy  There is no legal political parties or only one.  Limited or no electoral freedom. Rule by a single individual.  Opposition and dissent may be limited or forbidden.  Limited property rights, usually inherited; monarchs may claim ownership of entire kingdom.  Government may have significant role in the economy.  Monarch may determine how people are employed. Forced labor may happen.  Religious freedom may not be allowed.  Social welfare programs may not exist.

WHAT AN ABSOLUTE MONARCHY IS NOT  A democratic government which is by and for the people.  A government of shared power. Power is in the hands of the monarch.  A government which give the people civil rights.

THE BENEFITS OF A MONARCHY The monarchy system of authority can help in the advancement of a country through doing away with official corruption.
