Monarchism on the 12 Axes

Monarchism defends rule or symbolic leadership by a king, queen or emperor who inherits the position. It ranges from absolute monarchy, where the ruler holds real power, as in the Bourbon France of Louis XIV or today's Saudi Arabia, to constitutional monarchy, as in the United Kingdom, Spain or Japan. Political monarchist movements, such as French legitimism, Spanish Carlism or Brazilian monarchism after 1889, usually aim to restore a crown with real authority. Monarchists argue that a ruler raised for the role and free from elections can think long term and unite the nation. Compared with Reactionarism, monarchism centers on the crown and can accept modern economics and science. Compared with Theocracy, it grounds authority in dynasty rather than in clergy.
