? ? ? What is a Monarchy? ? ?

Monarchy A form of government in which a family (called a dynasty) rules over a country. The person in the family that is in charge is called the Monarch. In any Monarchy, the people do not vote for a Monarch, but the Monarch is chosen because of their place in the family. (i. e. , the Kings son will become King. )

!!!Absolute Monarchy!!!

!!!Constitutional Monarchy!!!

!!!Absolute Monarchy!!! This is when the Monarch has ABSOLUTE control over everything. They control; • Nobles, which are part of the Royal family and help the Monarch control the country. • Religion, to make sure that the religious leaders do what they want. • Military, to control the people and protect the Royal family. • Wealthy, because to gain wealth in a Monarchy, you must befriend the Monarch. • The People, for they have NO rights under an absolute monarchy, they cannot vote, or speak out against the Monarch.

!!!Constitutional Monarchy!!! A country still has a Monarch, but there are other parts of the government that the Monarch does not control, and a Constitution to protect peoples rights. In this government the Monarch may run the country like a President, or may only be a figure head and have no control (i. e. the Queen of England. ) The nobles, religious leaders, military, wealthy and poor alike have the same protected rights. Though you do not vote for a Monarch, you do vote for the main government that runs the country.
