Monarchical rule
Monarchical rule is a form of government where a single individual, called a monarch, holds primary authority, often inherited through family lines. The monarch’s power can range from symbolic and ceremonial to absolute control over government decisions. Historically, monarchies were the main political system worldwide, but today they are mostly constitutional, meaning the monarch's powers are limited by laws and a constitution, with elected officials handling daily governance. Essentially, it’s a system in which leadership is passed down through a royal family, shaping the country's political structure and traditions.
