Monarchies have a king or a queen in charge of a country, but there's much more to a monarchy than who is in charge. Readers find out which countries have a monarchy in place and how the system of government has evolved over time. Who once had a monarch in charge? How does power change hands? Who is eligible to be king or queen? All these questions and more are answered in this engaging book. This volume complements social studies curriculum. Sidebars, photographs, and captions clarify ideas within the engaging narrative. A conclusion summary chapter reinforces understanding of each ideology.
