I.

#2. Democratic states with retained monarchy are becoming constitutional monarchies. (…)

#3. The leadership of tribal chiefs reminds a very old form of government, the monarchy. (…)

#4. Nowadays more than two dozens of monarchies exist in the world. (…)

#5. The terms monarchy and royalty have got much in common. (…)

1. A monarchy (from the Greek monos, "one", and archein, "to rule") is a form of government that has a monarch as Head of State. 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. There are currently 29 extant monarchies in the world.

2. The term monarchy is also used to refer to the people (especially the dynasty, also known as royalty) and institutions that make up the royal or imperial establishment, or to the realm over which the monarch reigns.

3. In most monarchies, the monarch serves as a symbol of continuity and statehood. Many monarchies are constituted by tradition or by codified law so that the monarch has little real political power, but in others, the monarch holds substantial power.

4. Monarchies are one of the oldest forms of government, with echoes in the leadership of tribal chiefs. Many monarchies began with the Monarch as the local representative and temporary embodiment of the deity: (King of Babylon).

5. Since 1800, many of the world's monarchies have ceased to have a monarch and become republics, or become parliamentary democracies. Democratic countries which retain monarchy have by definition limited the monarch's power, with most having become constitutional monarchies.

6. In England, this process began with the Magna Carta of 1215, although it did not reach democratic proportions until after the Glorious Revolution in 1689.
