Question

How is a constitutional monarchy like a democracy?

Answer 1

In a constitutional monarchy, the monarch is sovereign. In a democracy, the people remain sovereign. Some examples of an constitutional monarchy include the UK, Japan, Norway ect.

Answer 2

While monarchy is unelected, unlike an elected presidency, Constitutional monarchy allows for certain powers of the monarch to be limited and balanced by an elected body in the form of a Parliament of elected ministers, and is therefore a democratic process drawn upon an enlightened basis for government.
