| | Constitutional monarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Portugal until 1910 was a constitutional monarchy and the last king was Manuel II of Portugal. | | | There have been monarchies which have coexisted with constitutions which were fascist (or quasi-fascist), as was the case in Italy, Japan and Spain, or with military dictatorships, as was the case in Thailand. | | | It also was a constitutional monarchy under the reign of Louis XVIII and Charles X, but the latter's attempt at reinstating absolute monarchy led to his fall. |

| | Wikinfo Constitutional monarchy |
| | The concept of constitutional monarchy owes its origins to the absolute monarchies for the later middle ages, where governmental authority was exercised by the monarch and his (or in rare occasions her) government. | | | Most modern constitutional monarchies operate under a written fundamental or organic law known as a constitution, which strictly defines the roles possessed by the head of state, the executive, legislature and judiciary. | | | In theory the legislative assembly and the cabinet may or may not be democratically elected or democratically accountable, but is usually democratically elected. |

| | The Constitutional Monarchy |
| | This departure from the rule established in the Constitution of 1822 was one of the consequences of the adoption in the Constitutional Charter of the theory of the four powers: legislative, executive, of moderation and judicial. | | | But the Constitutional Charter was revived for two subsequent periods: from August 1834 (when Dom Miguel left the country) to the resolution of September 1836 (which restored the Constitution of 1822 until the approval of the Constitution of 1838) and from January 1842 to October 1910. | | | With the Septembrist revolution of 1836 the Constitution of 1822 was reinstated for a short and almost symbolic second period, from 10 September 1836 to 4 April 1838, when the Constitution of 1838 was officially adopted. |

| | Monarchies were not defeated and abolished in the court of reason. | | | This is the type of monarchy against which revolutions were fought, and it is also the type of monarchy that was responsible for the strengthening of the arguments in favor of democracy and the republican form of government. | | | It is thus the form of monarchy, capetian and hereditary, that the constitution of the Fifth Republic achieves by elevating the president to a level that allows him to transcend even the contingencies of a presidential majority. |

| | Monarchy is often criticised for being a lottery, but so is an elected presidency. | | | The monarchy’s most important constitutional function is simply to be there: by occupying the constitutional high ground, it denies access to more sinister forces; to a partisan or corrupt president, divisive of the nation; or even to a dictator. | | | We have had no civil war since Cromwell’s and much of that is due to having had a constitutional monarchy as a focus of loyalty. |

| | This means that the monarchy can only be abolished by law, through an amendment to the Constitution. | | | To make doubly sure, the Constitution states that the king's decisions must be countersigned in order to be valid, and that the responsibility for this rests not with him, but with his Council. | | | For there was no shadow of doubt that the constitutional monarchy of 1905 was built on a democratic basis. |

| | At the same time, 48% of Canadians say that "the constitutional monarchy is outmoded and would prefer a republican system of government with an elected head of state", and two-thirds (65%) believe the royals are merely celebrities and should not have any formal role in Canada. | | | The Constitution Act of 1982 also entrenched the monarchy in Canada. | | | In March 2004, Citizens for a Canadian Republic proposed changes that would avoid a new round of constitutional negotiations by advocating a parliamentary reform of the office of the governor general, an office generally expected to be transformed into a presidency should the monarchy end. |

| | One of the distinguishing characteristics of monarchy is that the Head of State usually reigns for life; in a republic, the Head of State (often called the president) is normally elected for a certain amount of time. | | | The Constitution designates him Head of State for life with a royal style, but he will be succeeded by an elected president. | | | In constitutional monarchies the rule of succession is generally embodied in a law passed by a representative body, such as a parliament. |

| | According to him, monarchy is as much a government by law, as much opposed to despotism or absolute government, as are republics. | | | This happens as it moves toward republican government through various stages of limited or constitutional monarchy in which the sovereignty of the king becomes more and more attenuated. | | | The presentations on Citizen, Consitution, and Government discuss the basic opposition between absolute and limited government in the various terms in which that opposition is traditionally expressed: royal as opposed to political, despotic as opposed to constitutional government; or government by men as opposed to government by law. |
