Overview

A monarch is a head of state for life or until abdication, and therefore the head of state of a monarchy. A monarch usually exercises the highest authority and power in the state. Usually, a monarch either personally inherits the lawful right to exercise the state's sovereign rights or is selected by an established process from a family or cohort eligible to provide the nation's monarch. Alternatively, an individual may proclaim oneself monarch, or even usurp power, as many Ancient Greek tyrants did. If a young child is crowned the monarch, then a regent is often appointed to govern until the monarch reaches the requisite adult age to rule.

Notable quotes

“Royalty is a Government in which the attention of the nation is concentrated on one person doing interesting actions. A Republic is a Government in which that attention is divided between many, who are all doing uninteresting things.”
— Walter Bagehot, The English Constitution (1867).
“The insuperable objection to monarchy is that the king or queen is elevated, and respect is accorded, for no reason other than birth ... No one who believes either in the claims of merit or in the pursuit of equality can defend the system.”
— Mervyn Jones, 1977. Quoted in 100 good reasons to be a Republican, "New Statesman", August 2000.
“These Courts are not presumed to be the best acquainted with the rights and prerogatives of the Crown: in regard to such matters, we must look differently and respectfully to other authorities.”
— Sir John Nicholl, Goods of King George III, (1822), 1 St. Tr. (N. S.) 1283; reported in James William Norton-Kyshe, The Dictionary of Legal Quotations (1904), p. 68.
“I have often thought that the case against retaining the monarchy, which I usually construct in terms of the way it institutionalises deference, can be expressed much more simply: it rots the brain.”
— Joan Smith, 2000. Quoted in 100 good reasons to be a Republican, "New Statesman", August 2000.
“The trappings of a monarchy would set up an ordinary commonwealth.”
— Samuel Johnson, Life of Milton.
“The law was the golden met-wand, and measure to try the causes of the subjects; and which protected his Majesty in safety and in peace.”
— Prohibition del Boy, Co. 12 Rep. 65.
