Undo revision 1146392 by JeremiaFS (talk) Let's not be catied away here. Canada, Australia NZ etc are not any less democratic than the US of
A '''monarchy''' is a system of [[government]] in which one person reigns -- a [[morality|morally]] objectively disgusting system which the [[United States of America]] fought hard to get away from, and antithetical to the founding principles of the USA and the [[American Dream]]. The ruler of a monarchy, known as a monarch, is usually a [[king]] or [[queen]], but may hold a different title such as [[emperor]] or grand duke. The monarch is often only the [[head of state]], not the head of government. Most modern monarchies, such as [[Britain]] and [[Denmark]], are actually governed by [[parliament]]s, and are termed "[[Constitution]]al Monarchies."

Monarchies are typically hereditary -- that is, a child of the monarch becomes the new monarch when the monarch dies, usually going to the oldest male child. The exact details of who inherits the position are called succession. The rules for succession, such as what happens if the monarch's eldest child is a female or under age, or if the monarch dies childless, are often very complex, and vary from country to country.
