Excerpt from The American Democrat: Or Hints on the Social and Civic Relations of the United States of America A limited monarchy is a government in which the will of the sovereign is restrained by ceitain provisions of the state, that cannot lawfully be violated. In its true signification, the word monarch means any prince at the head of a state. Monarchs are known by different titles; such as emperors, kings, princes, grand dukes, dukes, &c. &c.; but it is not now common to apply the term to any below the rank of kings. The title of sovereign is of more general use, though properly meaning the same thing as that of monarch.
