A system of government in which an elected or hereditary monarch is the head of the state and shares power with a legally organized government

The system of government described above is a constitutional monarchy. In this form of governance, the monarch's powers are limited by a constitution or laws, and the government is responsible for carrying out day-to-day governance. The monarch serves as a ceremonial figurehead and symbol of the state, while the government exercises executive, legislative, and judicial powers. The extent of the monarch's powers can vary from country to country, but typically, the monarch's role is largely symbolic and non-partisan. Examples of constitutional monarchies include the United Kingdom, Spain, Denmark, Japan, and Sweden.
