>>278543>The pressure, and mentality of one man forged and bred to lead would be great if he doesn't reject it.Which is why abdication must always be an open option.
>By any number of issues he could be brought low. Any number of mental or physical illness could impair his judgement.This is quite correct, but I think for this reason the court must have the power to declare the monarch unfit to rule, which unlike in Belgium where this power can be exercised without restraint, would need to go to trial before a supreme court, to rule on whether this is genuinely the case. Following this either a regent or the next in line would take the reins.
>The new ruler would have to be safe.Essentially all usurpers would have to gain from this is legitimacy, but as I say there ought to be a process to define a monarch who is fit to rule. A compromised dynasty is a very common thing, and we see it across the west nowadays - though many of those are actually illegitimate to boot, such as the current royal families of the UK and Spain.
>With multiple potential rulers they may squabble to take the throne.That's no different than any other system. The difference is under this system we have a process for determining which is legitimate that is ultimately infallible unless the process itself is circumvented, which is not the case with other processes for determining the leader of a nation.
>If he is the scum of the Earth the induced tragedies can last for generations.I contend that a democratically elected leader that is bad is worse than a monarch that is bad. for one, democracies wield far greater domestic power than pretty much all monarchies in history, with the exception of ideologically neo-absolutist countries such as France under Louis XIV, or the late Austrian Empire before the reform to become Austria-Hungary. Furthermore with a democracy, or a Soviet/Chinese-style meritocracy where the next ruler is appointed or elected by a small council, you are left with a leader who has always sought that power, and is therefore guaranteed to be bad, leading to a string of evil even if the terms are limited, whereas at the least with a monarch you have a chance of a good leader, a chance you can increase with the education he receives, an education whose independence can be preserved partly by having the incumbent monarch setting out it's structure, or even the dynastic founder doing so.
>Where plotting and planning happen anyway to subvert this system. As with any system.Indeed - but the point ultimately is this. It took around 1200 years or so - more perhaps, I'd say the feudal era began with Charlemagne - for the system of monarchy, which was common across radically different forms of feudalism, to be subverted, and when this was achieved, more often than not (((they))) simply discarded the system wholesale in favor of republics, democracies, meritocracies (under communism that is). And those non-monarchical states that have existed without succumbing to this menace have not lasted long at all - some due to conquest, that is fair to say, but others were subverted.
>The desires of the nation and the populace. Prevent opposition controlled rebellions. The patriotism, and willingness to do what is right by kin and country is important too.If that truly meant anything "the people" would have done away with this nonsense years ago. Ultimately trusting in the wisdom of the mob to use it's power effectively is a progressive and I'd even go so far as to say socialist lie.
>The command structure has to be flexible, adaptable, and clear and stable.That is fair to say, but I believe late monarchies were moreso fulfilling of this than any modern state - Prussia would be my main example.
>what extent will this proposed monarchy have? I think the limitations the Fuhrer or the Kaiser had are acceptable. I believe that would make it constitutional, whilst not limiting it so much as to make it a crowned republic.
>Absolute?The idea of absolute monarchy is misleading - they only existed in the 19th century, where the power of the state was advanced enough that a monarch was capable of wielding absolute power - beforehand, the clergy, merchants, nobility and peasants held enough power that the monarch could not simply do as he pleased. Indeed Charles I merely walked into parliament, and this was deemed enough to overthrow him. So as I say, absolute monarchies only existed in the age where the most powerful monarchs, that of Britain and France, were both Jewish puppets.
>Should there be lines and lineages for every specific thing?No, I think that this particular practice was due to the recognition the monarch gave to his fiefs, that is to say that they were regarded as a sort of mini-monarch in their own right. Rulership over local provinces was such that one could have an independent duchy, so in a sense every noble was a ruler in his own right. Nowadays this is incompatible with the theory of nationhood, therefore there should be just one hereditary position, that of monarch, and to have other offices be hereditary I think would be demeaning and belittling to the monarch's position.
>The monarch MUST have children. I'd go so far as to say it is demanded of them.Agreed. They should not be forced - if they wish not to have children, they ought to be able to abdicate peacefully. But the need to have children is one we've found in these latter days to be of the utmost necessity, and again I think we'd benefit greatly by having this enshrined in the nation's national values by having the nation's fate rely on children in a very direct and linear sense. To say the nation relies on children in general, as of a generation, is to say the nation is a family, which is fine so long as that family has a father. As it stands that family has an orphanage.
>Then to contend with the desires of one who does not wish to rule, and those unfit to rule that desire it.Certainly - and to clarify ambition is not bad. But to give it ultimate power...
