Monarchy has been the go to form of government since the beginning of time. Theoretically a monarchy is practical. People elect one person to power and let the elected official handle problems that effect people on an individual level but are too large for the individual to handle themselves (i.e. a war or a bad economy). Unfortunately, time has shown that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It is because of the power hungry corrupt officials that monarchy has lost some of the confidence entrusted in the system. For example, in Great Britain, the Magna Carta of 1215 began the reduction of monarch power that continued until the monarchs assumed the figurehead role that they hold today.
They believed that they had divine right over the country and that the Parliament should be in power. They were Puritans and hated the hierarchy of the COE religion which the king was the head of meaning they hated the king. they did not want to abolish the monarchy meaning one ruler because they did not want a republic country they just wanted to replace the king in power and make him constitutional king.;
The Role of the Monarchy Monarchy is the oldest form of government in the United Kingdom. In a monarchy, a king or queen or any other impotant people is Head of State. The British monarchy is known as a constitutional monarchy. This means that, while The Sovereign is Head of State, the ability to make and pass legislation resides with an elected Parliament.
Pretty big difference because the real French royals fought through out most of the 1800's to retain the monarchy. They had to deal with Napoleon and his son and nephew for control. Napoleon and his successors weren't actually royalty even though they acted like were and even though the French for some odd reason treated them like they were. In reality they were despotic militaristic politicians. France went back and forth multiple times in the 1800's between having a monarchy and not, whereas Britain maintained the monarchy (in a constitutional role) through out the 1800's till now just fine; which is probably why Britain has (since Oliver Cromwell) avoided a tyrant.
If you mean the current queen, then the answer is she does.Dispite the public thinking she doesn't, every new law, paper and offical report goes to her to be signed. She wakes up early and spends no less than 2 hours signing papers... (just hope that pen doesn't run out)The Queen owns the country in a way, since William the royal famikly has passed the kingdom down... she chooses though that the government must decide whats best, and this is done through democracy and 'power to the people'AnswerCanada is a Constitutional Monarchy which legally limits the authority of the Monarch's role so that it must accord with the political arrangements declared under Canada's Constitution. The Queen possesses certain prerogative powers, and plays a ceremonial role, though has no active role in governance, and even most of the ceremonial functions of the Queen are handled by her representative in Canada, the Governor General (currently Michaelle Jean).Although formally possessed of power, the Queen is informally restricted by convention to respect the sovereign will of the people, and would risk considerable political outrage if she were to actually exercise such power, as it would not only offend the principle of Canadian sovereignty but also representative government. By this arrangement, the Queen is effectively powerless in the actual operation of the Canadian state.
China has come a long way from the days of Long March and cultural revolution. It has become a global economic and military power and a bonafide regional player. It exerts significant political influence in the region and has risen as a major trade powerhouse. The radical changes made to Chinese economy in last 2 or 3 decades have transformed this country of 1.35 billion people into a potential super power.
In an absolute monarchy, there is no limit on the power of the ruler. A constitutional monarchy imposes certain limits on the ruler's power. In the UK, the monarch's role is largely ceremonial.

It ended the role of the nobles and the monarchy and reduced the power of the Catholic Church.
no, it created a limited monarchy
In a country with an absolute monarchy, the monarch makes all of the decisions. Therefore, citizens in a country ruled by absolute monarchy has no decision making power.
the king makes the laws like in a absolute monarchy
This is too general a question as the role of monarchy has changed over the years. Queen Elizabeth I had more effective powers than the present Queen Elizabeth II, whose role is constitutional and symbolic.
nothing nothing
a ruler must consult the executive branch of government
They don't. The king and queen hold all the power. It is a UNITARY form of government. :)
To obey and pay taxes.
