What is a Monarchy? Why is that?

Monarchy comes from the French word Monarchie. In short, we can express it as the country’s government being in the hands of one person. Titles such as king, sultan, prince, emperor or kagan are used for this form of government.The biggest difference that separates the monarchy from other forms of government (Stratocracy, Aristocracy, Autocracy and Dictatorship) is that the person acquires this authority on the day he is born. In other words, the authority passes from father to son. Because people believed that the king took his authority from God. Especially in civilizations such as Ancient Egypt, the person who ruled the country was considered to be God. If you do not know about Ancient Egypt, here => II.
