Question

Give three reason for the survival of monarchy in england

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The durability of the English monarchy is one of its most widely remarked characteristics. Of all the great imperial monarchies of pre-1914 Europe, the British alone survives. The history of the British monarchy has not been without vicissitudes. It was temporarily displaced in the general crisis of the mid-17th century. In the present Queen’s reign criticism has been voiced of the junior members of the royal family. Not since the 1688 Revolution, however, has a serious challenge been mounted either to the person of the king or the institution. Never in modern England has there been a mighty Revolution like France’s after 1789. The monarchy remains part and parcel of British political life.

Many reasons have been advanced for its durability. Victoria’s long reign did much to strengthen the identification of the monarchy with the aspirations of the people. Before that, the embourgeoisement of royal life under George III did much to recommend the institution to the new middle class created by the Industrial Revolution. The monarchy, over the years, has shown a remarkable ability to adapt and respond to the challenges of modern times. Yet in many ways its fortunes had been decided before the beginning of the modern period. Long before 1832 the monarchy had been reshaped as a constitutional one; and well before the 18th century its powers had been limited by law. In many ways, the key period for determining the future course of the British monarchy (as it was to become) was the late medieval. In the centuries from 1215 to 1500 the foundations were laid of a polity in which king, lords and commons all co-operated for the common good. The links which were forged then between “head” and “members” of the body politic contributed to political stability in the long term.
