What matters most is that the governing authority, whether king, president, parliment or “central committee” recognize that they operate under the authority of God and are accountable to God.

Once a ruling authority forgets this or rebels against God, decay begins. Everything begins to fall apart.

A godly monarchy is better than an ungodly democracy.

I think what matters most is that the state understands that it never, ever has the right to make anyone worship a particular religion, force the populace to be accountable to any clergy or church, or prohibit the exercise of religion.

A birthright monarch does not assume power by the consent of the governed, and that is the antithesis of freedom.

I can’t advocate a monarchy where any mortal is the monarch. Men -will- fail. So it’s nice to have peaceful options to bring new folks in to leadership.

I am thinking something more along the lines of “term limits” rather than “monarchy”
