Parliamentary federal
constitutional monarchy
•A constitutional monarchy is a form of monarchy in which
the sovereign exercises their authorities in accordance with a written
or unwritten constitution.
•A federal monarchy is a federation of states with a single monarch
as over-all head of the federation, but retaining different monarchs,
or a non-monarchical system of government, in the various states
joined to the federation.
The European countries that have adopted the former political system are:
Belgium

*Sovereignty is the full right and power of a governing body over itself, without any interference
from outside sources or bodies.
