A king possesses the powers that his subjects give him (or maybe tolerate in him). Most extant kings are "Constitutional Monarchs" which means that an elected government passes laws which the monarch then signs. Generally this type of monarch does not have the veto power that is possessed by an American president. He is the head of state, but this is a purely symbolic thing.
Relative power, as opposed to absolute power, is the perveived amount of power one person or entity has in relation to another person or entity. Its a term applied to international relations theory. Some Scholars argue that states compete for relative power while others argue that states compete for absolute power. It is my belief that states are primarily concerned with relative power, that is, how much power a particular state has in relation to another.

The main difference between absolute monarchy and constitutional monarchy is that in an absolute monarchy, the monarch has absolute control and power, whereas, in a constitutional monarchy, the power of the monarch is limited by the constitution. Monarchy is a form of governance in which a single person acts as the head of state.
