Monarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2507 words) |
 | Monarchies are one of the oldest forms of government, with echoes in the leadership of tribal chiefs. |
| The economic structure of such monarchies is often of concentrated wealth, with the majority of the population living either as agricultural serfs, or, as in Gulf Monarchies, a paternalistic model showering benefits on the citizens (while politically they may remain subjects) and importing cheap foreign labor. |
| In constitutional monarchies the rule of succession is generally embodied in a law passed by a representative body, such as a parliament. |
