Argument Against Monarchy

An Argument Against Monarchy Monarchy as a governmental system clearly has numerous downfalls for the majority of people. The working class (bourgeoisie) rarely wins. It puts people into a hierarchical system based not on the merit of their character and work ethic but instead from the family they were born into. Those born into the few available positions of power in a monarchy benefit the most. This system can function and create civilizations that exude power and wealth but at a price that is far too costly. The price of freedom is expensive, but there is much more to gain in a decentralized government where power is distributed through a subsidiarity-based organization.

How can one family line maintain the structure to rule from generation to generation? Ultimately they cannot. No matter what rate it comes erosion of health, wealth, or ethics will eventually bring a monarchy to its knees.

The hierarchical system is destructive to society. Those who are born into power no matter how terrible or great their character is remain.

Freedom is a rare blessing and as Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
