What is a Monarchy type of government?

Question

Can someone explain to me what happens in a Monarchy type of government and give a country that uses it.

Answer 1

Yes a Monarchy is a type of government. Quoting from Wikipedia:

"A monarchy is a form of government in which an individual rules as head of state, often for life or until abdication, and "is wholly set apart from all other members of the state."

There are two forms of Monarchy:

Absolute Monarchy: Where all power is vested in the monarch and their will is law (a good example being Saudi Arabia)

AND

Constitutional Monarchy: is where there is a King/Queen/Crown Prince etc who holds some power and is usually head of state but also answers to a congress or parliament. In these nations the Monarch's power is limited by a constitution or laws that have been enacted over time. (examples of Constitutional/Limited Monarchies are Spain, Denmark, The United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, Japan)

Right now there are 44 Monarchies around the world, of these Queen Elizabeth is the Queen of 16 of them.

Answer 3

Monarchy:

A government that has a single person who is generally considered the ruler by the title and birthright. Titles include: Czar, King, Queen, Emperor, Caesar, etc... Power is absolute and is either taken through conquest or passed down to family members without regard for ability or appropriateness.  Society is formed around feudal groups or tribes in which the ruling family delegates power and authority based upon the desires of a single individual.  Power struggles are common.  A monarchy is based upon a class system where those of a certain birthright are perceived to be of superior intellect and strength to those not of the same family line. The resources and wealth of a country is generally preserved solely for the hedonistic and self-fulfilling desires of the reigning monarch with little regard for the general population or its welfare.  The inhabitants of a country under a monarch are alive to serve the monarch.  In contrast the inhabitants of a republic are served by the their leaders.   Examples of Monarchy include Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Monaco

Answer 4

A monarchy is a form of government in which an individual rules as head of state, often for life or until abdication, and "is wholly set apart from all other members of the state." The person who heads a monarchy is called a monarch.

There is no clear definition of monarchy. Holding unlimited political power in the state is not the defining characteristic, as many constitutional monarchies such as the United Kingdom and Thailand are considered monarchies. Hereditary rule is often a common characteristic, but elective monarchies are considered monarchies (the pope, sovereign of the Vatican City State, is elected by the College of Cardinals) and some states have hereditary rulers but are considered republics (such as the stadtholder of the Dutch Republic). A 1914 edition of Bouvier's Law Dictionary states that "Monarchy is contra distinguished from republic," and gives this definition:

Answer 5

A monarchy is when one person rules everybody.

A good example would be medieval England. The king ruled everybody

Answer 6

A monarchy is ruled by a royal family, usually King or Queen being the ruler. The country of Monaco is ruled by a roal family, the Raniers.
