Is a Constitutional Monarchy a good type of government?

Answer 1

Answer 1:

Well, I guess it all depends on who the monarch is. Was King David in The Bible a good king. Sure! Did he mess up? Of course! A bigger question...... was Jesus a good king? The people in Israel didn't want to accept God as the one and only true king, so they said they wanted a real and true king, one they could see and actually believe in. So God gave them what they wanted. I believe monarchy can be good if it was a person who would accept God and ask God for help. There are some pluses and minuses in monarchy. But, that is for you to figure out.

Answer 2:

A monarchy isseparatefromgovernment- they connote different things unless it is 'Absolute Monarchy' whereby the monarch takes ruling over the state and the government.

Answer 2

A constitutional monarchy is a form of government in which a monarch acts as head of state within the parameters of a written (i.e., codified), unwritten (i.e., uncodified) or blended constitution. It differs from absolute monarchy in that an absolute monarch serves as the sole source of political power in the state and is not legally bound by any constitution. (Kind of like the Egyptian Soicial Pyramid)

So to answer your question: Yes, a constitutional monarchy is a democratic country. In fact, the top 7 most democratic countries in the world (According to the Democracy Index) are constitutional monarchies (Norway, Denmark, Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the Netherlands).

Answer 3

no because what if the ruler is cruel to everyone. How would you feel then?

It can be a good type, i.e. England with Queen Elizabeth. She does not rule, but have influence.
