∙ 14y agoThe difference is that the monarchs in the constitutional monarchy have little power and the absolute monarchy the monarchs have all the power. == == Technically, a constitutional monarchy is just a specific type of monarchy.
A constitutional monarchy is different from other types of monarchies in that a constitution that sets out the powers of the monarch (ie. what they can and can't do) as well as of other parts of the government.
Modern constitutional monarchies give their kings virtually no power. They are basically ceremonial figureheads who have residual powers to intervene in government during a crisis.
Absolute monarchies, by contrast, place no limits on the monarch's power except certain traditional or customary limitations. In an absolute monarchy, the King can revise or change the law as he sees fit, imprison, execute or free people at will, and so on.

∙ 11y agoIn an Absolute Monarchy the King or Queen can rule without question and independently if they wish regardless of the law. Pretty much the ruler is above the law.
A Constitutional Monarchy means that the law is above the ruler and there is usually some form of elections and Parliament above the King or Queen as well.
