 | | 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. |

| | :: Welcome to Monarchy.net:: |
| | 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. |

| | Monarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | 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. |
