It is a system of government characterized by a King or Queen as the head of the government. Normally the throne is inherited by the child of a monarch when the monarch dies or abdicates (resigns). However, in many monarchies (historically the Kingdom of Poland or the Holy Roman Empire) the position is elective--the monarch is chosen by a college of electors of some kind. "Monarch" comes from the Greek meaning "rule by one" and it refers to any system where a lot of the political power is concentrated in the hands of one person, whether that person is called a king, prince, emperor, or president.
