What would you miss most? Discuss the concepts of democracy and
monarchy with your family. Ask your family members for their views.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

I would not agree with your line of argument, since constitutional monarchy predates (!) mass democracy. Gradual shift of royal prerogatives to the governments of the day was very slow process and does not have to do with mass democracy as such, just with the desire of the nobility first and the middle class en mass later to have a stake in the government. Neither would I equate monarchy with "snake" once the monarch was in a way a power broker between warring factions of nobility thus preventing civil wars and chaos. The republican form of government was not all sweet for "the masses", once the republics rested on the "rule of aristocracy" Alexis de Tocqueville spoke of the ancient republic as “an aristocracy of masters”. Mass democracy is a relatively new social development unlike the institution of monarchy.
