Q: how does a monarchy get their power
Hey, thanks for the question. In an absolute monarchy, the monarch, such as a king or a queen, rules as an autocrat . The monarch has absolute power and rules the government and state however they want. For example, they have the right to rule by decree, publicize laws, and inflict punishments.
Vocabulary:
Monarch - a sovereign head of state, especially a king, queen, or emperor.
Autocrat - a ruler with absolute power.
Absolute Power - complete authority to act in an area without supervision or review.
Rule by decree - style of governance allowing quick and unchallenged promotion of laws by a single person or group.
Hope this helped you out!
