1 answer

The correct answer is:
• In a constitutional monarchy, there is a head of state who is typically a king or queen, while in a constitutional democracy, there is no king or queen, and the head of state is usually an elected president.
• In a constitutional monarchy, the monarch's power is limited by a constitution, while in a constitutional democracy, the power of the government and the head of state are both limited by a constitution.
• Both systems guarantee individual rights and freedoms to the people, although the specific rights protected may vary from country to country.
• It is not accurate to say that a constitutional monarchy is a ruling party, as the ruling power typically lies with the government and its elected representatives, while the role of the monarch is often ceremonial or symbolic.
