OpenStudy (yb1996):

THE TOP 4 ADVANTAGES OF MONARCHY 1. There is only one person that will decide, so the decisions are made quickly and there are fewer arguments regarding the new policies to be imposed. 2. Monarchy reduces the heavy amount of expenditures of the nation in the elections as there is no need to elect the next ruler. The existing ruler will choose who his/her successor is. 3. The masses have great respect to their king or queen that an elected president as he/ she will rule for a term only. 4. Countries ruled by a monarch government have less corruption. Rulers know that their leadership is not for a term period, so they have no lust for money. They do not have the intentions to misuse their authority for corruption. THE TOP 2 DISADVANTAGES OF MONARCHY 1. In monarchy, a single person will rule the entire country as long as he/she lives. Therefore, the masses do not have the power to remove him/her from leadership even is he is not functioning according to the will of the masses. 2. A person who is aware that he/she will rule the country for the rest of his life does not take the responsibility to work for the betterment of his people seriously. He knows that he does not answer to anyone, which leads to economic disrupt.

@Secret-Ninja Can you help me with this one? What are the advantages and disadvantages of living under an oligarchy?

pro: things get done quickly con: things get done quickly they look identical, but it depends on how you look at "things" and define what they are. Also, it depends on which side you are on and how those decisions affect you. For instance, let's say there is a large piece of land with a forest on it. One group advocates keeping the forest the way it is and not cutting the trees down. An opposing group wants to turn all of the trees into lumber, paper, etc. A monarchy would have a king or queen ultimately deciding what happens to the land. The decision would be made relatively quickly. The pro is that things are done quickly but at the same time, the drawback is that the king may think too quickly and make the wrong decision. Also, the king may ignore the needs/wants of others which would anger them. Hopefully the king would know what is truly best for the people and make the right decision, but history often says otherwise.
