Before starting, let's review some key concepts: the modern state is an organization characterized by a centralized government and defined borders, which emerged from the unification of people with common historical, cultural, familial, or religious ties. The state of modernity began with the development of a centralized political system in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, with the monarch as the central figure and ruler of the three powers of the state: the legislative, executive, and judicial. The absolute monarchy had its peak in this period of European history, but still exists in some countries today. The parliamentary monarchy is a type of government in which the monarch is not hereditary and has limited powers, as defined by the legislature and the executive. This type of monarchy is associated with the phrase "the king reigns, but he governs."

The main functions of a parliamentary monarchy are the appointment of the first minister, command of foreign relations, and awarding honors.
