Question

The pharaoh of ancient Egypt was an absolute monarch. How does the power of such a ruler differ from that of a constitutional monarch like queen Elizabeth of great Britain

Answer 1

In Absolute and Constitutional Monarchy the power is hereditary but in the first one the power of the King is not subject to controls and is concentrated in the figure of the King. In the second one the King fulfills honorary functions and is a symbol of the unity of the nation.

In absolute monarchy there is no written constitution or a declaration of rights and guarantees of the inhabitants. constituional monarchy has a written constitution that establishes the division of powers of the state, the rights and guarantees of citizens.

In the absolute monarchy the inhabitants are subject to the authority of a superior and obliged to obey, the opposition is not allowed and there are no political parties. With constitutional monarchy the citizens enjoy political rights, there are elective charges by vote, there is freedom of expressionm and there are political parties.

Answer 2

The main difference is the limit of power. Elizabeth was subordinate to the Parliament, and the laws she would approve should be passed by the Parlament's houses. On the other hand, the Pharaoh had the power, he was not subordinated by any law, he was the incarnation of a god. Because of that, what he said was automatically determined as divine, and couldn't be disrespected.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Representative Monarchy. This is the best description of the British Monarchy. The consolidation of mighty power in England occurred relatively early in comparison with its neighbors, especially Germany. The invasion and domain of the territory by the Normands created a noble class submissive to the central power. However, this nobility still had certain powers and they demanded that their rights should be respected. Then the Parlament was created to limit the king's power. In Ancient Egypt, the concept of democracy or representation was not common. Actually, it was completely unknown. That's why the Pharao had the might power under people's life and death.
