Entry: The Crown of Disenchantment Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_crown_of_disenchantment#28439 Post contents: I am at least glad to see Andrew showing how a Constitutional Monarchy is workable, with the Monarch being a potential good branch of government to keep it in balance, checks, and divided. This shows yet again why an absolute Monarchy would be a disaster: One sinful man with total power could in theory have not allowed the extended abortion in the first place, but that also means he could have had the power to totally legalize it as well. Absolute Monarchy is a deadly two edged sword, and the British system of Monarchy and Parliament is a good example of a system that can work well (it of course is not perfect, as the example above with the recent law shows, but it does show that Republican systems like the USA are not at fault because of our Constitution, but because of men and events like Lincoln and the Civil War which bypassed it and distorted it. It should be our job (like Ron Paul) to drag it back to the place where it once was. Sent at: 2008 12 02
