The rights of people IN MONARCHY?

In a monarchy, the rights of individuals can vary significantly depending on whether the monarchy is absolute or constitutional. In absolute monarchies, the monarch holds extensive power, and individual rights may be limited, often subject to the ruler's discretion. In constitutional monarchies, citizens typically enjoy more rights and freedoms, as the monarchy is bound by a constitution or laws that protect civil liberties. Ultimately, the extent of rights in a monarchy largely depends on the country's legal framework and governance structure.
