Debate on British Monarchy
A debate on the British monarchy

Good evening, everybody. Today I am going to bring in the debate on should the British Monarchy be demolished or not. I will talk on both sides and would like everyone to pay attention so that you all can be part of this discussion.
The British monarchy can be discussed in Britain as well and if it did have a vote the result outcome would be equal and would have a stronger and more interesting debate.
In UK the power of the queen is not much as a head of state or in the government but more in representing the country. In Pakistan and the US the president would be the same power as the Prime Minister in UK.
There are many reasons we should get rid of the monarchy here are they:
Many times it has been the case that the monarch is not British and from somewhere else. The questions which raises in everyone’s mind is that, I am British and still a worker, but she is from somewhere else and a monarch? Why does she deserve it? This has a very harsh effect on the people and the state, since she might be helping her country with the money from the British people. She brings more people into to UK to work and earn money from there.
The queen is not important because she does not participate in the government or running the country the job is done by the Prime minister. The only thing she does is signs the final bill so that it becomes a law. Unfortunately she does not check it, or read it. The parliament decides amongst them by using a vote and debate system and decides on the bill. The queen is there used as a signer.
There is a fact that it brings tourism and makes the country more popular, but that even wastes money. You have to give the money to the queen for sitting and sleeping and eating all day. For example when the people come they buy souvenirs but they even stay here and we serve them. We have to have more space and more habitats for them to live. That costs a lot!
The queen does not even have the power to raise her

    The British Monarchy is a show piece that stands to represent the old ways of the world. They have been losing power gradually but steadily over the last two hundred years. In Australia their presence serves as merely ceremonial with a little political power that is seldom used. However removing the monarchy from the structure of our country would mean losing sporting opportunities, relations with UK and an affinity with our culture as an English colony which steadily grew from rags to riches under hard circumstances.…

    Does a queen require a king to effectively rule a country? Queen Elizabeth I, who ruled England from 1558 to 1603, didn’t think so. She was born Elizabeth Tudor, to King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. However, she faced a surprising number of challenges in her lifetime. Her mother was executed when Elizabeth was merely an infant, and her stepsister Mary I of England actually attempted to assassinate her for the throne! (“Queen Elizabeth I Facts Summary Info.” p. 1) Despite all of this, Elizabeth continued steering her country towards a brighter future: she eased the distrust and hostility between Catholics and Protestants, prompted England’s international trading economy to flourish, and created the Anglican Church as we recognize it today. Because of these reasons - and more -, Queen Elizabeth I should be held in high regard as an exemplary ruler who changed England forever.…

    The monarch does not get the final say in a constitutional monarchy. An example of a constitutional monarchy is the United Kingdom because they have a monarch and a parliament. The role of monarch gets passed down through generation, but has little to no power. The people get to elect some of the leaders who make the laws. In a constitutional monarchy, there are three roles the monarch who is the symbolic head, the people who elect the representatives, and the representatives who make the laws.…

    Canada is a constitutional monarchy; this means that the powers of the monarchy in Canada are limited by the Constitution. Our monarch is now Elizabeth II, who is also the Queen of the United Kingdom. As our Queen does not live in Canada, she appoints, under the advice of our Prime Minister, a Governor General to represent her authority in Canada. There is a great debate among Canadians, on if they really need a constitutional monarchy. The fact is Canada does need a monarch.…

    The British Monarchy has had a large influence on Canada since European exploration of the Americas began in the late 15th century. However, over the last few decades there has been increasing debates over the relevance of the British monarchy in modern day Canada. Over the past few decades there has been a shift from monarchy to constitutional monarchy; this means the the King and Queen no longer have executive power to do what they please, the power now falls to an elected parliament (Citation). Because of this the monarchy has taken a largely symbolic role. Many people would argue that because this is a largely symbolic role, is not longer necessary and should therefore be abolished in Canada. The British Monarchy is proven to be an effective…

    Each of the separate branches; legislative, executive and judicial, holds members that were either elected or appointed by the Prime Minister (Martin 2). The only one not to comply to this is the Queen herself. The constitutional monarchy is based on the ancient form of authority that not only prevents the leader from being chosen fairly, it also prevents the opportunity to remove an unsuitable one. Other than death or dethroning, there is no concrete way to dismiss a royal figure from their standing, with the current laws of the throne. Compared to the other members of the government, which are given a chance to be replaced in the quadrennial elections or in the case of a Member of Parliament, by a by-election (“By-elections” 1), the sovereign can’t be reinstated by someone else. Regardless of the circumstance, laws have been put in place as a way to protect the citizens from the chance of a person of power exploiting it. These laws don’t apply to the Monarchy. Many say that Queen Victoria is a crucial figure in our past, which is true, but they don’t acknowledge the vast amount of Royals who have abused their power rather than using it for good. Numerous examples can be found throughout history, all because of the uncertainty that comes with having a self-proclaimed leader, that can’t be removed by the citizens (Barksdale 1). Clearly, the monarchy is an unfit and potentially dangerous form of government, and shouldn’t be continued in this country, which can be sustained without…

    So, my final question is this: do you want the freedom of independence? or do you want the king to rule your life? How much longer will you put up with this? How long will we put up with the taxes without our consent?

    The Rise of Monarchies

    A new monarchy brings power to the royal family. It does this in many ways. A new monarchy reduces the power of nobility, and confiscates land from the nobles that are on "their" land. They also impose taxes and tariffs on whatever they want. A new monarchy will also create standing armies and hire mercenaries to protect their land and to grow their empire. Basically a new monarchy wants to bring money, power, and control to the royal family that is in rule. An example of two new monarchies is Henry VII of England and Ferdinand I of Spain. Both the royal families and states they represent are great examples of a new monarch from the time period of 1450 to 1550.…

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all…
