Etymology
The word monarch (Latin: monarcha) comes from the Greek words μονάρχης, monárkhēs (from monos "one/singular," and árkhō, "to rule", which referred to a single, at leastnominally absolute ruler. In current usage the word monarchy generally refers to a traditional system of hereditary rule, as elective monarchies are rare in the modern period.Powers of monarch
* In an absolute monarchy (e.g: Swaziland), the monarch rules as an autocrat, with absolute power over the state and government.
* In a constitutional monarchy (e.g:Monaco) the monarch is subject to a constitution. The monarch serves as a ceremonial figurehead symbol of national unity and state continuity.
Types of monarchy
* Hereditary:In a hereditary monarchy, the position of monarch is inherited according to a statutory or customary order of succession, usually within one royal family tracing its origin through ahistorical dynasty or bloodline. This usually means that the heir to the throne is known well in advance of becoming monarch to ensure a smooth succession. (e.g: Great Britain,Holland)
* Elective: In an elective monarchy, monarchs are elected, or appointed by somebody (an electoral college) for life or a defined period, but otherwise serve as any othermonarch. There is no popular vote involved in elective monarchies, as the elective body usually consists of a small number of eligible people.
