What are the differences between Democratic Republic system and Constitutional Monarchy system?

Answer 1

A Republic is a system of where the people have the right to elect their head of states and head of states usually stay on for a short term and can only be elected twice in every election until they retire or they have been voted out. Also the identity of the nation is tied up into the constitution (eg the US Constitution and the French and German Constitution). And the president is to uphold the values in the nation for a short term until the next president is voted in.

In a Constitutional Monarchy, the Head of State is of Monarchical background and they are simply born into it but are bounded by the constitutional laws of a parliament (eg the english Bill of Rights). Constitutional monarchy is a combination between ritual traditions of a monarch and parliamentary democracy of where the the Monarch is only a ceremonial head of state and only has nominal powers to uphold and protect the constitutional laws as well as the common laws. The parliament has the real power of governance.

It is proven that constitutional monarchy has better stability because it balance the powers between a reigning monarch and the parliamentarians so that neither monarch or parliamentarian is being above the law and above the constitution. Both of them can remove each other and be replaced with another if a constitutional crises occurs. The Identity of the nation is tied up in a human being that is of hereditary heritage to be entrusted to uphold the values of the nation for life.

In conclusion Both systems are democratic but they have different approaches to democracy, both systems cherish the same belief of democracy, freedom and civil rights. Although republics can become corrupt and it is a known fact that they usually are.
