What is the difference between constitutional monarchy and an absolute monarchy?
In a constitutional monarchy, like in England, the monarch does not have much power at all, because there is a constitution. In an absolute monarchy, they have absolute power. In a constitutional monarchy, the power of the monarch is limited by some set of rules or document (e.g. a constitution), which sets out the powers given to the monarch. Other powers are given to other groups, commonly judges and a legislature. How much power is given to each group and the monarch varies widely, and is entirely up to the constitution of the country in question. In an absolute monarchy, the monarch is presumed to be God-(or other deity)-ordained, and rules with no limits on their power.
