The Monarchy and the Constitution

The monarchy is a system where a king or queen serves as the nation's ceremonial or symbolic leader, often representing tradition and continuity. The constitution is the set of laws that define how a country is governed. In constitutional monarchies, the monarch’s powers are limited by the constitution, which distributes authority among elected officials. This means the monarch mainly performs ceremonial duties, while elected leaders handle day-to-day government functions. Together, they balance tradition with democratic governance, ensuring stability and continuity while respecting the people's elected representatives.
