The monarchy and the Republic
Introduction
If we talk about the monarchy, there are several types: absolute monarchy, parliamentary monarchy and constitutional monarchy. They differ in the king’s participation in government. The concept of absolute monarchy characterized the political model of Western Europe 18. It has a hereditary and life character. All power is concentrated in this unique person, the king. There is no division of powers. The king controls the three powers of the State: Executive, Legislative and Judicial. In this type of government the idea that God gives legitimacy to the monarch is defended. Parliamentary monarchies still exist in current democratic countries. An example of this type of monarchy can be found in Spain or in England.
Developing
It can be defined with the phrase "The King Reina, but does not govern". The monarch has limited powers by Parliament and is governed by a set of established laws. The King represents the State, but the government what another person who is the prime minister is elected by Parliament and within the Parliament is a kind of congress where his representatives are already popularly elected. In each country the system works a bit different. For example in England, Parliament is divided into two parts – cameras. A camera is chosen by the people the other is based on the hereditary principle. The constitutional monarchy means that the king does not have absolute power, but that his power is limited by the Constitution.
The difference between the constitutional monarchy and the parliamentary monarchy is that in the constitutional monarchy, the King retains the Executive Power. On the other hand, the Republic is also a very old form of state from Rome. It comes from the "public res" that means the public thing or the thing of the people. This means that the president and other representatives are popularly elected. The president does not have a life position or is inherited as in the monarchy. He normally has limited time and can be re -elected. The power is going to be divided although the president is going to exercise the government, another body will create the laws, normally a congress and another body will apply them, typically a judiciary. Most of the time the monarchies prevail.
The first absolute monarchy worked during the reign of the husbands Fernando II of Aragon and Isabel I of Castile from 1451 to 1504 – The Catholic Monarchs. The absolute monarchy continued during Austria’s house. He speaks of a part of Spanish history in the 16th and 17th centuries when the Habsburg ruled in Spain. The time began with the proclamation as king of Carlos I in 1516 and the death of Carlos II was over. This caused the Spanish Succession War. After the war the absolute monarchy was restored during Bourbon reformism. This period began in 1700 and continued until Bayona’s abdications of 1808. In this year the Spanish War of Independence began, which was one of the Napoleonic wars.
Arose due to dissatisfaction of the people. With the absolutist restoration and also during the reign of Isabel II and provisional government continued the absolute monarchy in Spain. After the absolute monarchy, he changed in the parliamentary monarchy during the reign of Amadeo I, although the failure was over and only last two years. The First Spanish Republic was the first republican attempt. The Foundation of the Republic began with the abdication of King Amado I on February 10, 1873. The next day, February 11, the Republic was declared by a parliamentary majority composed of radicals, Republicans and Democrats. It ended on December 29, 1874, when the pronouncement of General Arsenio Martínez Campos marked the beginning of the Bourbon Restoration in Spain.
This was the second attempt to have a parliamentary monarchy. It extended between the end of 1874 and April 14, 1931. The second to the last stage of the Republic in Spain was the Second Republic and indicates a regime that originated after King Alfonso XIII left the country. (April 14, 1931), and disappeared in the Spanish Civil War (April 1, 1939). The last form of state that stabilized in 1975 with the death of General Franco was the parliamentary monarchy. Here democracy began in Spain. So far Spain defines as a parliamentary monarchy. The last form of state that stabilized in 1975 with the death of General Franco was the parliamentary monarchy. Here democracy began in Spain.
conclusion
The last form of state that stabilized in 1975 with the death of General Franco was the parliamentary monarchy. Here democracy began in Spain. In my opinion there is a great controversy between what form of state is better if the monarchy or the republic. But really when we talk about a monarchy that is parliamentary and constitutional its differences with the Republic will be few. Today there are monarchies such as Luxembourg, Monaco, Spain or the United Kingdom who are monarchies where citizens enjoy many rights and are also states with a lot of development.
On the other hand there are also republics such as Venezuela where peoples suffer abuse, poverty and little development and republics such as Switzerland where there is also high human development. So what form of government is better? In my opinion it depends a lot on the people who are in charge of public positions. The advantage of the Republic is that citizens can choose new rulers if they are not satisfied. But you can see the disadvantage that all people not always have all information on disinformations can influence the people’s opinions. If people are influenced by misinformation and choose an irresponsible person, negative consequences can be long.
