Question

What are the difference between monarchy and a republic?




Government question

Answer 1

A republic has an elected head of state called a president.

A monarchy has an unelected head of state called a monarch, who will pass the position down to their child.

Other than that, they’re not really comparable. Monarchies and republics vary enormously across the world; a republic could have more in common with a neighboring monarchy than another republic elsewhere. Similarities and differences of these nations have more to do with geography, history and culture than anything else.

Answer 2

The major difference between a republic and a monarchy is the fact that a monarchy is ruled by amonarch, i.e. a king or a queen, whereas in a republic, the people choose who they want to rule them.
