Question

how is an absolute monarch different from a constitutional monarch?
a. an absolute monarch has complete control, while a constitutional monarch is limited by laws.
b. an absolute monarch rules more than one country, while a constitutional monarch rules just one.
c. an absolute monarch must be catholic, while a constitutional monarch can choose his religion.
d. an absolute monarch is chosen by the people, while a constitutional monarch takes power by force.

Explanation:

An absolute monarch has unrestricted power, with no legal limitations. A constitutional monarch's powers are defined and restricted by a constitution or laws. Option A correctly captures this key difference. Option B is incorrect as the number of countries ruled isn't the defining difference. Option C is wrong as religion isn't the core distinction. Option D is false as absolute monarchs typically inherit power, not chosen by people, and constitutional monarchs don't take power by force.

Answer:

A. An absolute monarch has complete control, while a constitutional monarch is limited by laws.
