what is Monarchy

1 answer

Monarchy is a form of government in which a single person, usually referred to as a monarch, holds supreme authority and power. This person, often a king or queen, inherits their position and authority through hereditary means, such as being born into a specific royal family. Monarchs may have varying levels of powers in different countries, ranging from absolute monarchy, where the monarch has complete control over the government, to constitutional monarchy, where the monarch's powers are limited by a constitution and there is a shared governing authority with elected officials. Monarchies can exist alongside other forms of government, such as a parliamentary system, where the monarch's role is largely ceremonial.
