| | Constitutional monarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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 those in which the government is run as a military dictatorship, as was the case in Thailand. | | | Portugal until 1910 was a constitutional monarchy and the last king was Manuel II of Portugal. | | | 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. |

| | CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION - Wednesday, 4 February 1998 |
| | Popular elections for presidents, gender balance, a bill of rights, changes to the preamble to the Constitution and `resident for president' all have a superficial appeal. | | | This is a real chance for the Constitution, the centrepiece of our legal and political structures, to clearly state that the independence of our nation achieved in 1901 was a conscious and deliberate decision of the Australian people. | | | Surely we are mature enough, surely we are independent enough, to have one of our own as our head of state. |

| | The way in which the government of the day is able to use Crown powers to evade parliamentary and judicial scrutiny of its actions is an affront to British democracy as it is a violation of the rule of law. | | | This is also the reason why no British government will advocate a republic, for it is the government of the day that has most to lose from the abolition of monarchy. | | | A constitutional monarchy is a contradiction in terms. |
