How does the Parliament and monarchy work today?

A monarchy works by the head of the royal family(king or queen) rules as head of state, they make all the rules and laws. To become the queen or king you must inherit it. This is done by ether being the oldest boy in the family or being the oldest daughter if there is no boys. Once they have been appointed as queen or king they have to rule for life. Monarchy is also one of the oldest types of government. It can also be taken down by a revolution, like in Russia. In a constitutional monarchy the queen or king has laws affecting what they can and cant do. Goods of a monarchy: well in a constitutional monarchy the laws will affect what the monarch will do so the changes will be good if they are made, people don't have to vote and lastly because it is quicker because only one person has to make the rules. Negatives of a monarchy: it will be easily thrown over by a revolution if the whole country gets together, people don't have a choice who rules and lastly laws could be bad because they might not know what people want. Hope it helps. TG

Why did the French decide not to institute a constitutional monarchy when they got rid of the absolute monarch like England had done after the Glorious Revolution?

France was an absolute monarchy before the revolution, as it had been for hundreds of years. It meant that the reigning King had absolute power. That was what the revolutionists wanted to get rid of.

It also meant France had 3 estates: the clergy (1st estate), the nobility (2nd estate) and the bourgeoisie (3rd estate). The first 2 estates had a lot of privileges and did not have to pay taxes, even though they were the richest. The revolutionists wanted more equality in France and the abolition of privileges for the clergy and especially the nobility. They wanted a cabinet of ministers chosen by the people instead of chosen by the King. They also clamored for freedom of speech, religion and press.

But the revolutionists turned radical and extreme, and instead of wanting a constitutional monarchy, they spiraled down into the reign of terror, killing thousands of people, including their King and Queen.

I'm unsure but here are some reasons I've read about:

She committed suicide after having a miscarriage

Her siblings were mean to her and she killed them but got beheaded for the crime

I honestly don't want to find out the true reason nor do I want to even see B-Mary. I don't recommend you try either.

That depended on their interests. A few hobbies that I can think of some English kings and queens had:

Matilda of Scotland liked to read and was very active in charity (she even washed the feet of leppers often). She was also very active in building and architecture.

Henry I liked spending time with pretty women and siring bastards.

Henry II had difficulty sitting still and would do things as mend his own clothes or hunt like crazy.

Eleanor of Aquitaine liked to listen to music and read stories of courtly love.

Edward I liked to play chess.

Edward II is one of the most interesting in this regard. He liked to row boats, build walls, swim and all kinds of other things that were not considered kingly.

Henry VIII composed music and liked to debate with scholars and humanists in his early days.

Anne Boleyn liked playing cards and discussing religion. She was also a witty conversationalist, who liked to dance.

Jane Seymour liked gardening.

Catherine Howard liked dancing, clothes and had an affair.

Catherine Parr liked discussing religion and published two books.

Edward IV and Elizabeth I both liked studying very much. Both Mary I and Elizabeth I played music together and Elizabeth also liked riding horses and dancing to keep fit.

James I liked to hang out with handsome young men.

Charles II was called the merry monarch for good reason: he liked theater, parties and having many mistresses.

Mary II liked walking briskly.

Caroline of Anspach liked reading and corresponding with scholars.

George III would pray constantly and was very religious.
