a few questions for monarchists
Post Body
Hello, to preface this I am not a monarchist but I am very interested in the philosophy behind modern day monarchists. I don't ask these questions as some type of "gotcha" or insult so I apologize if it comes across as accusatory. Here are some questions I have:
Absolute monarchies/monarchies with actual power
- What do you feel justifies the power of the monarch?
- If you believe in the divine right of Kings how do you actually know God wanted them to rule and not that they just played their cards right?
- How should a monarch be held accountable for poor decisions that hurt the people?
Constitutional monarchies/ ceremonial monarchs
- Why should taxes pay for the luxuries of the royal family if they don't actually have much say in governance?
Restoring monarchies
- Why should a society bring back a monarchy if their current governments are chugging along fine without one?
Thank you in advance for your answers
