Question

question 16 (5 points) listen a constitutional monarchy provides what power to a monarch? a) absolute power over parliament b) power for kings, not queens c) a divine right of kings d) only power given in the constitution

Explanation:

In a constitutional monarchy, the monarch's powers are defined and limited by the constitution. Option A is incorrect as absolute power over parliament is not a feature of constitutional monarchy (that's absolute monarchy). Option B is wrong as constitutional monarchies can have queens (e.g., UK with Queen Elizabeth II). Option C, divine right of kings, is associated with absolute monarchy where monarchs claimed power from God, not constitutional. Option D correctly states that the monarch has only the power granted by the constitution.

Answer:

D. Only power given in the constitution
