HELP INDEX NEXT UP PREVIOUS FEEDBACK ATG Monarchy
This portrait features Queen Juliana Marie of Denmark. When a country or state is ruled by a single person or sovereign, it is said to be a monarchy. This head of state inherits his or her position for life. With the influx of Christianity, monarchs were said to have had a divine right to govern. The monarch does not usually force his rule upon his subjects. Instead the citizens support the divine mandate of the king or queen. [JG] {WD} {EB}
