The truth is that there is no perfect form of government because there are no perfect people. The monarchy overlooks this by portraying monarchs are being supreme people without flaws. A look at history shows great contempt for “commoners” in monarchies.

I will admit that our current situation is far from perfect. But it’s worth noting that these authors can write such articles and people can post them online without fear of legal punishment in the U.S. That’s not the case in much of the world.

No, that is not true. Monarchs are human; some are outright bad. The benefit of monarchy is that whatever kind the monarch is, he has the natural interest in protecting his property, which in his case is the national infrastructure, while annoying the least amount of people possible. Unlike an elected politician he has no interest in squandering it or lie to us on a 4-year cycle.
