In his writings, particularly in the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson expressed strong opposition to monarchy. He argued that hereditary rule was incompatible with the principles of democracy and individual rights. Jefferson believed that governments should derive their power from the consent of the governed, and he criticized monarchy for perpetuating inequality and tyranny. He championed the idea of a government accountable to the people rather than a royal lineage.

Is a Absolute monarchy good or bad?

Is a Absolute monarchy good or bad? To answer your question honestly, in my opinion an absolute Monarchy would be a bad thing. It could turn out to be a dictatorship, if the one that is the head of the Monarchy commits a crime, the authorities will have to protect his/her Majesty. So I would have to say it would be a bad thing.
