for life and commonly designated according to a hereditary order. This
position is called monarch in general terms although this may vary according
to the legal structure of the government or the region, such as king or queen,
emperor or empress, tsar or kaiser. In some cases it is chosen by a select
group, and the state ruled by the monarch also receives the name of
monarchy, along with that of kingdom.

CONSTITUTIONALISM

defined as "a complex of ideas, attitudes, and patterns of behavior that
establish the principle that government authority derives from and is
limited by the main body of a supreme law

people, through legitimate mechanisms of participation in political decision-
making.

The term democracy is extended to communities or organized groups where all

individuals participate in decision-making in a participatory and horizontal
manner.
