From the Paper
"Monarchy remains a form of government in a number of other countries throughout the world, though the nature of the monarchy in these nations has changed greatly over the centuries. The monarchy in great Britain is well known throughout the world, once as a powerful head of government but now more as the symbolic head of state. Yet even this role has been brought more and more into question in England and in other monarchies. The recent death of Pricess Diana may be cause for even deeper questioning of monarchy. Likely, the monarchy will survive well into the next century, and it may remain the reality in some countries for a long time. In the long run, though, the trend is clearly toward a more republican form of government, with elected representatives and elected heads of government and with the power emanating form the people and not from an inherited family dynasty.."

Abstract
This paper attempts to prove why the Constitutional Monarchy is the best form of government. It shows how it protects the well-being of the population through its written constitution and how it adapts to the ever-changing society through its democratic system of the people having the power. It also demonstrates how it gives the people a reason to follow the government's decisions through the presence of a monarchy that inspires a sense of community and nationalism.
From the Paper
"One of the major causes for the dissolving of governments is an inability to adapt to the changes and advancements in the world around them. For example, with constant advancements in science causing a decline in religious followers, there is no way a Theocracy could survive. Plato proposed a government that was ruled by the intelligent and although this may seem flawless in theory, the reality is with an ever-changing world around them it could never work. Therefore a good government must be able to meet these changes and advancements, and work with them. A constitutional monarchy does this through following the utilitarian 'greatest good for the greatest number' (Kay 1997) ways of its democratic system. "

"A Monarchy Transformed: Britain 1603-1714", 2007.

Abstract
This paper reviews "A Monarchy Transformed: Britain 1603-1714," written by M. Kishlansky, regarding the Stuart Monarchy in Great Britain. The paper suggests that the book is an interesting and comprehensive work that helps to illustrate the important political notions that influenced Great Britain. It gives examples of Kishlansky's depiction of the events of history through his text, in order to illustrate this point.
From the Paper
"It seems surprising that while the events of the 17th Century can be so clear, they leave much to interpretation. The events depicted in A Monarchy Transformed are exceptionally clear, such as the Great Fire of London or the Gunpowder Plot, and they help to lead into the narrative which is what is really important, because it is necessary to know the political story before history can be told. The work begins with two overview chapters which help to put the social and political context in perspective before jumping into the narrative. It would perhaps be helpful for a more fitting overview, but that does not detract from the effective narrative in bringing the political details of the British monarchy to life. The Stuart dynasty is accurately, informatively, and with great attention to readability, made clear as to their place in British history and the political events in which they partook."

Abstract
This paper explains the concept of absolutism and gives examples of absolutist monarchs. The paper also provides an explanation of King Louis XIV's impact on absolutism and describes the results of this kind of reign of power.
From the Paper
"Throughout history, political absolutism has been something many countries have faced. According to Wikipedia, a??absolutism is a political theory which argues that one person should have all powera??. Rather than dispersing duties to noble representatives of the country, the ruler had complete control over everything. The control included the power to demand laws, make justice, collect taxes, keep a permanent army, submit employees, judge attempts against public goods, and the authority to determine exceptions to whom and when the laws applied (National States). The monarch could enforce and abolish rules just as a small child would when making up their own game."

From the Paper
"Nicholas Henshall, in his book "The Myth of Absolutism, Change and Continuity in Early Modern European Monarchy", argues that the concept of absolutism as generally used by historians to describe kingly rule in early modern Europe is badly misleading and inaccurate. Henshall argues that absolutism is no longer a valid and significant concept, for it is too often equated with outright despotism, instead of being seen as a description of broader and more varied forms of monarchic rule. Therefore, the author examines the misuse of the term and endeavors to redefine the governments it was meant to describe in a way that will be useful to the understanding of the era and the governments in question. Monarchies were not "absolute" in terms of force and despotism and the crushing of liberties. In opposition, to traditional theories, Henshall argues that monarchies were ... "

The Role of Religion in Medieval Monarchy, 2002.
The paper discusses the role religious beliefs played among the European kings during the Middle Ages.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper points out that religion was the only constant in a continually warring Europe. The paper traces the rise of a "Christian" Europe. It also analyzes the way the battles were fought between a pagan infidel and a Pope as well as the resulting supremacy and dominance of the religious leaders over the citizens of a country, even over Kings.
From the Paper
"Religion and the monarchies often sparred, disagreed, even fought wars. But, in the end, while monarchs held power, it was still the religious spirit that gave them the excuse to invade, maim, conquer and kill- all in the name of their ?anointed? rights. Power, in the Middle Ages, was nothing subtle. It seems every monarch was a MacBeth, and every Pope a Boniface VIII. Religion, then, was both crutch and sword for monarchies who continued to exist in the belief they were given that existence by God and his earthly servants."

David Establishes a United Monarchy, 2006.
This paper analyzes King David's life, rise to power and unification of the Israelites.

Abstract
This paper details David's historical success in gaining power and unifying the people of Israel. This paper also discusses David's complex character that learns from each experience and recognizes the value of keeping promises and honoring alliances. The author of this paper examines Deuteronomy's theory that David's rise to power and unifying the Israelites was simply because he was appointed by God to do so. This narrative offers a steady path of intellectual growth and self-awareness that would contradict a strict Deuteronimistic interpretation.
From the Paper
"However, David also takes his men into battle against other tribes, and does not shrink from wiping out entire populations because he does not want survivors to spread the word that he has restricted his attacks to Canaanite peoples. He has also been building his own wealth with booty from his conquests. In addition, he takes two wives, Abibail, the wife of Nabal and Ahinoam of Jezreel."

The monarchy in Britain has a long history, unbroken since the Restoration in the seventeenth century. The monarchy in Spain was only recently restored after the Franco era from 1936 into the 1970s.
From the Paper
"The monarchy in Britain has a long history, unbroken since the Restoration in the seventeenth century. The monarchy in Spain was only recently restored after the Franco era from 1936 into the 1970s. The role of the monarch is similar in each country in that each nation today is a constitutional monarchy, with an elected official as head of the government, while the monarch fulfills the ceremonial role of head of state. Americans are unaccustomed to this distinction because the President fulfills both roles and so makes the two roles seem to be one, when in many systems they are separated as they are in the United Kingdom and in Spain.
In the United Kingdom, the constitutional monarchy operates without a written constitution on the basis of long-standing but flexible traditions. What is viewed as the British constitution ..."

Abstract
This paper is about the early European monarchies in Spain, France and England. The author examines the idea of ruling with fear in contrast to ruling with love. Includes examples of Queen Elizabeth, Henry VII, Henry VIII, Phillip II.
From the Paper
"A Prince that is feared, ?much safer than,? a Prince that is loved, writes Machiavelli. This point is debatable. During the years of Kings and Queens ruling their lands, there have been many different approaches to success. Some monarchs rule with love, keeping their subjects happy and kissing their feet. Others take the approach of strict rule, killing all those who step out of line to make an example for the rest of the kingdom. Still others try every way possible to lead their kingdom and still fail. Which approach to ruling, then, is the correct way? In my estimation the supreme way to rule a kingdom would be through love. Keeping your people happy, with no reason to revolt or step out of line. This is the ultimate way to rule. Elizabeth I, Queen of England, as well as, Henry IV, King of France, chose to rule with the powers of love. On the other hand, Henry VIII, King of England, and Phillip II, King of Spain, ruled out of fear. Finally, Mary, Queen of Scots, and Mary of Guise, failed to rule their land successfully."

"In the modern world of the twentieth century, there are few monarchies still in evidence. Among the two that remain visible and an important political component in their respective countries are the House of Windsor in England, and the Saudi Arabian monarchy.
In the case of England, the monarchy has a long and glorious history, dating back several centuries. The British monarchy has been an important part of state-craft within Britain, theater. Britain, but has also had a significant impact on the European theater. For both Islam and the Arabian peninsula, the Saudi monarchy, although not as ancient as that of England, at least in its present form, has molded the character and, in turn, been remolded in the process.

Abstract
This paper discusses modern monarchies, in general, with a focus on Islamic monarchies, specifically those of Morocco and Jordan. The paper examines the politics involved in the monarchical survival of these countries. The paper outlines the duties incumbent on the monarchy and contends that a successful monarch depends upon fact that he provides a non-political personality for his country and people and that his office is not tied to any political group or party.
From the Paper
"The Royal Family of Saudi Arabia is considered to be the largest monarchy in the Middle East with vast number of members. The Royalty of Jordan is considered to be the most beloved. Jordan, a small state, established in a permeable regional system and striving to survive the local and internal risk lends itself to an exploration that highlights the internal factors of foreign policy behavior and the connection between the regime consolidations, legitimatization and survival. (Salloukh, 1996) Monarchy is considered to be the most significant convention in Jordan. The Constitution envisages that all the members of the government and judiciary are appointed by the king and the representatives to the lower house of the legislature are elected by the people."

Abstract
This paper looks at the countries of Jordan, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia and the progress or lack of progress made in their democratization. The paper examines their progress by looking at the process of globalization and democracy as a global social movement. The paper also looks at the concepts of constitutional monarchies, capitalism, and democracy as well as the impact of the IMF/World Bank on global democratization.
From the Paper
"Heavy US and UN intervention in the Middle East in the past 20 years has had some substantial effects on the governmental and social structures of various countries in that region. A few specific countries can be used as geopolitical barometers to understand the relationships between monarchy and democracy and their effects on the Middle Eastern world, specifically Jordan, Morocco and Saudi Arabia. All of which are highly significant in international relationships, and all are in various states of democratization. Looking at these three countries we will understand the relationships between democracy and democratization and their cultures and political structures, as well as the countries' relationship to globalization and international affairs."
