The Uk only has one as a figurehead no. She has no real powers anymore. The Us has never had one. We founded the US on the factor that no one leader would ever had that much power. We have 3 separate powers of govt. One cannot overpower the other. The people would not allow for it either.

Answer 16

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a constitutional monarchy with an unwritten constitution based on tradition, slowly evolving over time.  Four separate constituent countries (or historically separate entities) make up the UK: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland--not to mention a lot of surrounding smaller islands. In recent years, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland each also have won the right to elect unicameral legislatures and have their own executives.

Constitutional monarchies--such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Japan--are democratic countries who elect representatives to a parliamentary body, known in the UK's case as the House of Commons; however, part of the executive power, which is now mostly ceremonial, resides in the hands of the monarchy, or else the Prime Minister and his or her Cabinet act on behalf of an hereditary king or queen.  One feature of government in the UK is the House of Lords, whose members are hereditary, ecclesiastical, or life peers. The power of the Lords to reject a bill passed by the House of Commons is severely limited.  However, in March 2007, the House moved to elect representatives to the Lords, but the Lords refused to abolish their hereditary rights.  

Both Ireland (or officially Eire) and the United States are Republican forms of government who won their independence from the UK in 1922 and 1783 respectively.  A written constitution in both Eire and the US took the executive branch of government out of the control of an hereditary monarchy.

Answer 17

Ireland is a Republic, it has no King or Queen.

The UK has a Queen.  Its just part of our culture.  We have never changed from a Monarchy to a Republic.

America was established as a Republic and never had a Monarchy.

Answer 18

I thought David & Victoria were your new King & Queen.

Answer 19

We don't need a king because we already have one right now. Think about it.

Answer 20

Quite sad to note that many replies don't know that The United Kingdom is a democracy! Our form of government, Constitutional Monarchy, one of the world's oldest,

is democratic.

Not interested in what america has or does not have.

Answer 21

schWARzenegger ll b president of the USA n me, the King William V, ll conquer jerusalem

Answer 22

cuz USA is a democracy -your "King & Queen" are figureheads only.  they are supported by your tax money while the Prime Minister and other government officers are in charge.

Answer 23

America has none because they are a democracy, rather than a monarchy. The equivalent of a queen or king is technically a president, although his actions are reflective of the people he represents.

Answer 24

Ireland does not have a King or Queen for the same reason America doesn't. They are both Republics. The UK is a constitutional monarchy because so far they haven't voted to get rid of royal family. The UK, Ireland and the US are all democracies. It seems some of your other respondants are confusing the word "democracy" with the word "republic."

Answer 25

Ireland does not have a king or queen.

Answer 26

We Americans take great pride in choosing the people who s***w us over.      Are you serious ?  Go read the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence.  Or perhaps a history book.   Come on man, what kind of p***y would continuously take the c**p that piece of work King George was throwing at us.  Sorry UK, Canada, Australia and all the others who didn't bolt.   But in consolation to the other children of the greatest empire, we now have Bush.  Circle of life to be sure.  God help us all.

Answer 27

Because it's a republic?

Answer 28

Ireland hasn't had kings and queens for hundreds of years (when they still had tribes).  The UK's monarchy is ceremonial/traditional.  They have a parliamentary government with a Prime Minister in charge.  

America's govt. was created by people who were irritated by the actions of England's King.  Therefore, the last thing they wanted to create was another monarchy.

Answer 29

Declaration of Independence 1776

And I take it you're from Northern Ireland.

Answer 30

Ireland hasn't got a king or queen.

That's why it's called the republic of Ireland
