6. Which detail from the audio story explains why critics of American

presidents so often refer to them as "kings" or "monarchs"?
O "The Whig Party called Andrew Jackson' King Andrew l' because they thought he'd overstepped his bounds."
O "Monarchism in America is a constant charge because we were founded as a nation against monarchy."
O "So President Bush's critics on the left and right say he acts like a king. They focus on the government's
treatment of detainees and eavesdropping without court approval."
O "What we're seeing now is the executive powers given to the president enable him to do things without any
congressional check whatsoever or any judicial check whatsoever."

Answer:

The difference between monarch and president is that monarch is a ruler of an absolute monarchy or the head of state of a constitutional monarchy while president is the head of state of a republic, a representative democracy and sometimes a dictatorship.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Adams himself showed a fondness for monarchy, and in his own writings classified America as a "Monarchial Republic", by which he meant that the executive power was in the hands of an individual, and was a republic in so far as the constitution provided for the representation of the people."
