A monarchy works by the head of the royal family(king or queen) rules as head of state, they make all the rules and laws. To become the queen or king you must inherit it. This is done by ether being the oldest boy in the family or being the oldest daughter if there is no boys. Once they have been appointed as queen or king they have to rule for life. Monarchy is also one of the oldest types of government. It can also be taken down by a revolution, like in Russia. In a constitutional monarchy the queen or king has laws affecting what they can and cant do. Goods of a monarchy: well in a constitutional monarchy the laws will affect what the monarch will do so the changes will be good if they are made, people don't have to vote and lastly because it is quicker because only one person has to make the rules. Negatives of a monarchy: it will be easily thrown over by a revolution if the whole country gets together, people don't have a choice who rules and lastly laws could be bad because they might not know what people want. Hope it helps. TG

Why England changed from absolute monarchy to constitional monarchy?

It was the growing power of Parliament, and several imcompetent monarchs which led to this. By the 17th century, Parliament had gained one power that the monarchy no longer had - they were in charge of raising taxes. King Charles I got into so many arguments over money, religion and political affairs that his own Parliament declared war on him. In the end, Parliament won and had the king executed. Oliver Cromwell became the dictator of England for 10 years (this period is known as the Commonwealth), and abolished an increasingly corrupt Parliament. After his death, both the Monarchy and Parliament were restored, and king Charles II became King. The Civil War led to a gradual increase in Parliament's power, which may well have stopped the country from having a revolution.
