Modern Monarchies




Modern Monarchy Absolute monarchy: the monarch exercises ultimate

control. Ever since the French Revolution, the idea of popular sovereignty (giving

the people a voice) has led to the monarch becoming a symbol or a figurehead for the government (similar to the president). They have a great deal of power, but they are no longer the only ones with a say in what happens.

Constitutional monarchy: the monarch has control as head of state, but where a parliament has a voice in what happens as well.

Examples (absolute monarchy) United Arab Emirates Brunei Oman Qatar Saudi Arabia Vatican City

Examples (constitutional monarchy) England
