The correct differentiation between a constitutional monarchy and a constitutional democracy is:

In the former, a king or queen is a ruling party; in the latter, there is no king or queen.

In a constitutional monarchy, a monarch (king or queen) often serves as the ceremonial head of state within the confines of a constitution, while the actual political power is held by elected officials. In contrast, a constitutional democracy typically has no monarch and relies on elected representatives to govern.
