Question

how does a constitutional monarchy differ from an absolute monarchy?
it gives kings and queens much more power.
it allows judges to put a king or queen in jail.
it prevents kings and queens from making laws.
it puts limits on the power of the king and queen.

Explanation:

In an absolute monarchy, the monarch has unrestricted power. In a constitutional monarchy, the monarch's power is limited by a constitution or laws. The first option is incorrect as constitutional monarchy limits, not increases, royal power. The second option is an extreme and inaccurate statement. The third option is wrong as in a constitutional monarchy, the monarch may still have some role in the law - making process (though limited). The fourth option correctly reflects that constitutional monarchy puts limits on the monarch's power.

Answer:

It puts limits on the power of the king and queen.
