Distinction between Constitutional Monarchy and Republican Democracy :
Constitutional Monarchy:
It is a type of democracy. In this, the state head is appointed on hereditary basis. In it, in principle, monarchy exists, but in practical form, Indirect democracy is found to be working.
The powers of state head, appointed on hereditary basis, are used by the ‘council of ministers’ under the leadership of Prime Minister. The king only reigns, and does not administer. The king does not have any answer-ability towards the acts performed, but some other persons are answerable for the king’s works.
Example : Britain, here even today, constitutional monarchy exists.
Republican Democracy:
This is also a sort of democracy, wherein President of the state is elected on the basis of proportional representation system. The chosen state President is accepted by the people in the form of elected President. This is a symbol of republican system. For example : United States of America. Here, this republican system has been adopted.
