Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

==================================================================

We can take Britain as an example. They are pretty much just simple figurehead just like King Louis XVI who was stripped of his powers completely (he was executed later as he tried to escape to neighbouring countries).

==================================================================

But before they were just simple figureheads, they had absolute power, doing pretty much whatever they want. At some point, they were even allowed to arrest someone for absolutely no reason at all but I believe at the end of the 17th century, the British monarchs were stripped of their executive powers and had to submit to the Parliament. This is why Britain is a constitutional monarchy.
