Answer 2

Monarchy is not a democracy form of government. Power is passed in a family line, people become royalty since birth or through marriage. Some types of monarchy, especially the modern ones are Constitutional Monarchies, which means that the monarchy exists at the same time as an elected Parliament when the members of the royal family have representative tasks, such as a charity.

Democracy is a different form of government, where the people choose by vote who is going to rule. Usually, in democracies, the rulers have a certain time in power and have to give up on it. Democracy is the only form of government that everyone has a say and everyone can be elected as a representative, something that is not possible in a Monarchy.
