Crowning Glory (eBook, ePUB)

The Merits of Monarchy

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

With the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and our new King Charles III coming to the throne, what better time than now to probe into the merits of the monarchy? Charles Neilson Gattey provides the reader with an insight into the concept of the constitutional monarch, whose role, he states, is to look after the long-term interests of the nation above the changing spectrum of party political strife. "While monarchy is mainly a conservative force, helping to maintain stability, this very fundamental stability", Gattey argues, "enables the country to absorb more radical changes in its political and social structure than would otherwise be possible without the risk of disorder". Whilst 12 countries in Europe still continue to retain their monarchs, the death of Queen Elizabeth II has revived the debate about the future of the British Commonwealth and the transitioning to a republic state, with the removal of King Charles III as head of state. Crowning Glory offers the reader a perspective to this ongoing and highly relevant debate.
