what is the main feature of a constitutional government?
its power is defined and limited by law.
its people are represented in a parliament.
its power is split between a monarch and a parliament.
it is not ruled by a monarch.

Explanation:

A constitutional government is defined by the fact that its powers are not absolute. Instead, they are clearly defined and restricted by a set of laws (usually a constitution). This ensures that there are checks on governmental authority.

• The option "Its people are represented in a parliament" is about representation (which can exist in non - constitutional systems too).
• "Its power is split between a monarch and a parliament" is a form of power - sharing but not the core feature of a constitutional government.
• "It is not ruled by a monarch" is incorrect as constitutional monarchies (e.g., the UK) are constitutional governments with a monarch.

Answer:

Its power is defined and limited by law.
