Monarchies have been challenged and destroyed by various factors throughout history, often through revolutions, wars, and political movements. Notable examples include the French Revolution, which led to the fall of the Bourbon monarchy, and the Russian Revolution, which resulted in the overthrow of the Romanov dynasty. Additionally, decolonization and the rise of republicanism in the 20th century saw many monarchies dismantled in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Ultimately, the destruction of monarchies often stemmed from popular uprisings against autocratic rule and demands for democratic governance.

The underlying assumption of this question, which is that constitutional monarchies are considered democracies by dint of being constitutional monarchies, is false. "Constitutional Monarchy" simply means that the power of the monarch (king) is limited by a constitution. This constitution can be enforced by some kind of oligarchy, aristocracy, or the common gentry. If the constitution is enforced by an oligarchy or aristocracy, the resulting state is not a democracy, whereas if it is enforced by the common gentry, it is democratic.Now, since almost all current constitutional monarchies are of this latter variety (monarchies with a constitution enforced by common people), people generally drop the intermediate step of separating non-democratic constitutional monarchies from democratic constitutional monarchies and refer to constitutional monarchies as a form of democracy.
Why are you asking dozens and dozens of questions about constitutional monarchies? And why ask a stupid question like this one? France and US both kicked their monarchies out and then wrote a constitution. There has not been a constitutional monarch in either country.
Monarchies affect people by limiting their power and voice in matters involving society. Monarchies are not as popular today as they were in the 19th Century.
This is false. Monarchies are normally powerless! P.s. I had this same ? On my homework! Lol
