I am the king because my father was the king, and his father was the king, and my great-grandfather was the king too.
I make the rules. You WILL follow them!!!!
Systems of Government Cartoons
We will make our plans based on what our God decides for us.
Monarchy: In a monarchy there is a ruler in charge who has usually inherited the job because of his/her family. The one person in charge is called a monarch. Most monarchs do not have absolute rule.
