How are people's views taken into account in a monarchy?

Answer 1

In an absolute monarchy, only the monarch has power, so everyone other than the monarch has no power. The extent to which the subjects' views are taken into account is the degree to which the monarch cares about his people and the degree to which he fears that a revolt may occur.

In a constitutional monarchy, who is deprived of power depends entirely on the constitution in question. A constitution that gives minimal voice to the people, such as those of Morocco and Jordan, allows people to have a voice by electing about half of the parliamentary seats. This has minimal actual effect. A constitution that give maximal voice to the people, such as those of Britain and Spain, the people's voice is represented by the legislature that has almost complete (if not total control) of the government.

Answer 2

Well, honey, in a monarchy, people's views are about as important as a goldfish's opinion on world politics. The ruler usually calls all the shots, and unless you're part of the royal family or have some serious influence, your views are likely to end up in the trash faster than yesterday's leftovers. So, in short, in a monarchy, your views might as well be a decorative plant - they look nice, but no one really cares.
