Constitutional Monarchism

Constitutional Monarchism, clipped to ConMon, is in most aspects varied ideology but usually somewhat moderate ideology. It believes that there should a monarch should rule, but should be restricted by formal constitutional means.

Constitutional Monarchism is distinguished from Ceremonial Monarchism in that in a Constitutional Monarchy the monarch still holds power to enact policies, unlike in a Ceremonial Monarchy in which the only power the monarchy has is to act as figureheads. Nonetheless CerMon is usually considered a type of Constitutional Monarchy, and constitutional monarchies that aren't ceremonial are usually distinguished by the title Semi-Constitutional Monarchy.

History
The first constitutional monarchy was created when John of England signed the Magna Carta, which was a major step in the current constitutional monarchy in the UK. Other notable examples are Liechtenstein and Spain.

Orléanism was a major force in French politics during the 19th century. A Orléanist was someone who supported a constitutional monarchy under House of Orléans. Due to the radical political change France went under during that period, there were three types of Orléanism:


 * Pure Orléanism: Those who support the reign of Louis Philippe I, who came to power after the 1830 July Revolution, which overthrew Charles X's autocratic regime. Pure Orléanists were usually [[File:Lib.png]] Liberal and [[File:Moder.png]] Moderate.


 * Fusionist Orléanism: A group of dissident Pure Orléanists and some [[File:Reactcross.png]] Legitimists who endorsed Philippe, Count of Paris', claim to the House of Orléans and the Crown of France. Fusionist Orléanists were usually [[File:Tradcon.png]] Traditionalist Conservatives.


 * Progressive Orléanism: A group of dissident Fusionist Orléanists who, after the increasingly [[File:Antimon.png]] Anti-Monarchist sentiment of the 1890s, took up [[File:Prog-u.png]] Progressivism and [[File:Laicism.png]] Laicism.

Personality and Behaviour
ConMon is usually portrayed as a bit boring as compared with other Monarchists since he isn't as radical. He is also shown to enjoy incest.
