Monarchy is a form of government

Monarchies are linked to the monarch's lifelong hereditary government, whose responsibility and authority pass to the successor. The advantage of a hereditary monarchy is the immediate succession of government (as evidenced by the phrase "The King is dead, long live the king"). In an absolute monarchy, the monarch rules as an autocrat with unlimited power. Absolute monarchies are not necessarily authoritarian. In a constitutional monarchy, the power of the monarch is limited by the constitution. The reign of a monarch begins with a coronation or enthronement.

The regent rules if the monarch is underage or absent.

Abdication is an act by which a monarch renounces a government.

Hereditary monarchy
In a hereditary monarchy, the status of the monarch is inherited according to the laws or customs of succession, usually in a royal family of dynastic origin. The successor is usually known before assuming the throne.

In a hereditary monarchy, all rulers usually come from the same dynasty, and the crown passes from one family member to another. This system has the advantage of stability, continuity, and predictability, as well as internal stabilizing factors such as gender attachment and loyalty.

For example, when the king or queen of a hereditary monarchy dies or retires, the crown usually passes to the next generation, that is, his or her descendant, usually in a certain sequence of seniority. When this descendant dies, the crown smoothly passes to his descendants or, if he has no heirs, then to his brother or sister, cousin, cousin, or other direct relatives. Hereditary monarchies most often determine inheritance in accordance with a legally established, precisely defined succession procedure, so it is known in advance who will be the next ruler. Today's general type of inheritance in hereditary monarchies is based on some form of primogeniture, but there are other methods such as seniority, tanisters, or rotational succession that were more common in the past.

An elected monarchy is a monarchy in which the monarch is elected by a certain group of nobles. The Polish Kingdom and the Holy Roman Empire of the German nation were electoral monarchies until the last days. There are still four States with an electoral monarchy system: the Vatican, Cambodia, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates.
