A monarchy is a form of government in which a single person, the monarch, serves as the head of state and typically holds significant authority over the state. Monarchies can be classified into several types:
1. **Absolute Monarchy**: The monarch has almost complete control over the government and is not bound by a constitution or laws. Their powers are often not limited by any legal or political constraints.
2. **Constitutional Monarchy**: The monarch's powers are limited by a constitution or laws, and they typically act as ceremonial figureheads. In this system, elected officials often hold significant political power, and the government operates within the framework of a constitution.
The position of monarch is usually hereditary, meaning that it is passed down through family lineage. Monarchies have existed in various forms throughout history and in various cultures, and the specific powers and roles of the monarch can vary widely between different countries and historical periods.
