Crowned republic


A crowned republic, also call as a monarchial republic, is an informal term that has been used to refer to the system of monarchy where the monarch's role may be seen as near entirely ceremonial and where near all of the royal prerogatives are exercised in such(a) a way that the monarch personally has little energy over executive together with constitutional issues. The term has been used by a small number of authors below to informally describe governments such(a) as Australia and the United Kingdom, although these countries are classified as constitutional monarchies. A crowned republic may refer also for the historical republic with a doge as the head of the state, esp. Venice and Genoa.
