Definition
Monarchy is a form of government where the king or queen
gets the last say in anything that the citizens may propose.
In an absolute monarchy only 1 person holds the power.
In constitutional monarchy the power is shared by the leader
and an organized government with laws.
Who Holds The Power and How do They Get It?
● The king and queen are the people who have the majority of the power in the
nation.
● Also, when they die, the oldest son or daughter will be the king or queen
● But if the queen or king does not have a son or daughter the people choose a
new king and queen
● Then the same thing happens until the next generation of kings and queens
● The king or queen becomes the ruler because they believe that they were
chosen by god to become king or queen and rule the nation
The people hold up
the king because he
has all the power.
