Question

What are the advantages and disadvantages oh having a king as a ruler?

Answer 1

advantage: stability & continuity

disadvantage: too much scandals.

Answer 2

I think the US is already experiencing somewhat of a monarchy.

And I see no advantages to it!

Answer 3

They are very difficult to use as a ruler. I much prefer a steel ruler or a tape measure.

Answer 4

Bad--One guy tells a million people what to do and you're at his whim. He makes the law. That sucks if you get a cruel man...if you don't like it your head goes on a stake.

Good--Some kings were known to ride at the head of the battles. So if he's a jerk, at least he gets killed first :)

Answer 5

Better than having a fat assed Queen ! atleast the World would take you seriously with a strong Male figure Head rather than a pompous fat assed queen !
