Constitutional Monarchy-Meanings, Terms, and Reason for it

Some Misconceptions about Constitutional Monarchy: A de-bunker

Using Proper Terms

I ask all the people I know about what is a constitutional monarchy and I always get a similar answer: "A Monarch would has unlimited power who runs his country like a dictator."  

This answer is wrong-wrong-wrong-wrong.  In the U.S.A. we are taught the monarchy is bad in school(for a place were we have no official state ideology, we seem to be taught that monarchy is bad, which is an Ideology).  We are taught that Constitutional Monarchy is tyranny, not true, schools stop teaching this-thats Absolute Monarchy-which I hate. 

 

Constitutional Monarchy is basically a country where the Monarch(King, Prince, Duke, Grand Prince, and Grand Duke) is basically just a figurehead.  The Monarch has no political power, he is just suppose to represent the people.  This is keynote, the Monarch is not to be controversial since he does not represent a group of people and politics that elected him, but all the people of the country since he is born not to be political.

The Head of State and the Head of Government are two very different roles.  The  Head of State represents the people and is supposedly the head of the army but cannot use the army.  The Head of Government makes the political decisions about the country and uses the army.  In the U.K. the Queen is the Head of State and the Prime Minister is the Head of Government.

Denmark vs Italy

    The Reason

Once upon a time Italy and the Denmark have very similar governments.  They both were parliamentary constitutional monarchies with a Prime Minster Head of Government and the King is the Head of State, but then WWII hits and a man named Mussolini and Hitler go around destroying Europe and the Italian Kings were dethroned because Mussolini messed up Italy and Politicians blamed the king who had no power over a dictator with his own military.  

    --King did not support Mussolini no matter what others say.

So you reading this, most likely if you are an american, you might think that Italy now the Italian Prime Minister is both Head of State and Head of Government.  Nope.  Instead Italy has an elected President who is always controversial because a group of people chose him on politics not representing the people.  My heritage is Italian, and we all agree that Italians were happier with a non-controversial Head of State who represent the people not politics.  Now Italians are unhappy with the current government.  Head of Government and Head of State serve politics not the people.  

Denmark has a King and Prime Minister.  The King is for the people and the Prime Minister is for the politics. Guess what, they have the happiest people in the world. The King(well it is a Queen right now) has no political power, and the Prime Minister makes laws.

Monarchs are servant to the good public will. Politicians are servants to their private interest. You do the math.
