Dutch constitutional monarchy
The Dutch constitutional monarchy is a system where the King or Queen is the head of state, but their powers are limited by the constitution. The country is governed primarily by elected officials in Parliament, who make laws and decisions. The monarch’s role is mostly ceremonial, representing national unity and continuity, while real political power resides with the government. This balance ensures stability and tradition coexist with democratic governance, making the Netherlands a constitutional monarchy with a constitutional framework defining the monarch's limited role.
