Discuss the arguments for and against abolishing the Monarchy in the United Kingdom

The question of this topic, for and against abolishing the Monarchy in the UK has already had a great impact on our lives today. It has long been discussed by our people whenever there was any bad impact to the society caused by any member of the Royal family.

In this essay, I will be discussing both sides’ view of the matter and concerns including

  1. the sense of belonging with the monarchy;
  2. The fame of the British monarchy; and
  3. A future British republic or monarchy?

Our monarchy has maintained itself in the country purely as an image for everyone. In Britain, all British know who is the Queen or the King; it is possible to say that the Queen is a ‘constitutional monarch’.  In other words, she is bound by rules and conventions to be the national head of state but with no authority to rule the country. We may sometimes say why do we need the Queen and her Royal family?  Well, at the moments she holds the throne as the head of Church of England, the source of prerogative powers, Head of Judiciary, Commander in Chief of the Armed forces. In sum, her duty is making sure the authority transfer from the Monarchy to the House of Commons, in which, the constitution is elected democratically.

They still respect the Monarchy as their Queen and King and return to patronize the Royal Family as well as their place or origin at least once in their lives.
