Bhutanese Constitutional Monarchy

Bhutan's constitutional monarchy is a government system where the king is the head of state but shares power with a constitutionally established government. The constitution, adopted in 2008, defines the king’s roles and limits, ensuring democratic processes like elections and a parliament. The monarch provides national stability and cultural continuity, while elected officials handle day-to-day governance. This balance allows Bhutan to maintain its traditions and sovereignty while embracing modern political principles, promoting inclusive development, social harmony, and democratic participation within a framework that respects its unique cultural identity.
