Monarchs rule through pure force. The most powerful would have the most rightful claim. Constitutional monarchies have devolved from absolute monarchies. Why people that have progressed beyond that would think of going backwards- politically devolving to a lower life form, is beyond me.
Dogs have been bred from wolves. Personally I like wolves a lot better than dogs, yet wolves would have trouble in modern society socially. Some lunatic recently shot one in a U.S. state. Humans do not share every feature of dogs. Dogs probably die too soon to get gum disease bacteria sufficiently to cause Alzheimers disease (the bacteria eat the brain too). Non-divine monarchs never die soon enough. Neither do old political philosophies get replaced soon enough.
People breed dogs yet rely on ancient political philosophies like socialism, capitalism, communism, democracy etc that were designed for different centuries past. They look backwards to the days of wolves without living in a wild ecosphere. Democracy and free enterprise need adaptation to demographic and ecospheric reality.
