Monaco's political system

Monaco's political system is a constitutional monarchy led by a prince who holds significant executive authority, including appointing ministers and approving laws. The Prince is supported by a National Council, a legislative body with limited powers, elected by citizens. The council reviews and votes on legislation, but major decisions often require the prince’s approval. Monaco maintains a stable and centralized governance structure, blending monarchical traditions with parliamentary elements, and its constitution ensures a balance of power between the prince, government ministers, and the legislative council.
