Answer:

That statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is one specific difference between a Monarchy and constitutional monarchy. Under a monarchy, a King has absolute power that cannot be controlled by any person or any law.

Under a constitutional monarchy, That King still has a lot of power. But, the king's action cannot violate a pre-existing set of written constitution . Which means that under constitutional monarchy, the constitution has the highest power in the country. Not the king

Because of this, country under a constitutional monarchy system can adopt several characteristics that can usually be found in Democratic countries (where the people and the law held the highest power). The King only acted as a symbolic leader rather than the real decision makers.
