Monarchical Institutions

Monarchical institutions refer to systems of governance where a single ruler, known as a monarch, holds significant power, often inherited through family lineage. Monarchies can be absolute, where the monarch has comprehensive control over the state, or constitutional, where their powers are limited by laws or a constitution. Common features include ceremonies, royal families, and national symbols that foster national identity. Monarchs may play ceremonial roles and represent unity, while other government bodies manage day-to-day affairs. Examples include the British monarchy and the Saudi monarchy, illustrating diverse roles and structures across different cultures.
