A constitutional monarch is a form of government where the monarch's powers are limited by a constitution or a set of laws. The monarch serves as a ceremonial figurehead, with limited or no political power. The actual governing and decision-making are carried out by elected officials in a democratic system.
On the other hand, an absolute monarch is a form of government where the monarch has complete and unrestricted power. They hold absolute authority over the government, legislation, and decision-making without any limitations imposed by a constitution or laws. In this system, the monarch's will is the ultimate law, and there is little to no room for checks and balances or democratic processes.
