Monarchy was once an institution preferable to today's mass democracy. But what noble acts have monarchs carried out in the recent past?
@mkj1951 Simplistic. By that token, there were many more wars w/ larger casualties perpetuated by democratic governments in the recent past.

@NinaByzantina I agree, simplistic, but as we know most western democracies run by very few that hold the real power. So - not different. -
@mkj1951 Taxes under the absolute monarch Louis XIV were a fraction of what you currently pay to the Canadian government. :) -
@NinaByzantina Yes, you have me there!
