no it wasnt

Wrong

Charles II, a literal drooling retard and still a better ruler than democratically elected Obama.

Nope, demoncrazy was a mistake

The problem with monarchy is succession based upon primogeniture. Succession should instead be based upon the idea of meritocratic adoption i.e. the ruler adopts as his heir the person who they feel is most suited for the job of ruling. It wouldn't always be perfect, some times a ruler may misjudge, but I feel would largely avoid the pitfalls of typical monarchic succession.

There'd need to be a way to take a ruler out of power, otherwise you're at the basic problem of such systems in that governmental change becomes impossible without revolution or civil war.

>Succession should instead be based upon the idea of elective succession
FIFY.

^^^^^this

>A system of government that existed with humanity since the dawn of time, lasted for millennia with barely any hiccups, was responsible for many of the cultural and technological advancements across human history, and only recently was replaced by alternative government types like democracy
>a mistake

Like a... democracy?

>that moment when you realize constitutional elective monarchy is the best system in existence

>Hereditary monarchy was a mistake

FTFY

Inbreeding was a mistake.
So was the (probably necessary) practice of aggrandizing nobles and their endless scheming.

>elective
Aka: all the downsides of oligarchy and democry with none of the benefits.

Trusting anything to elections opens the path up for corruption and bribery to a greater extent. Look at how the Renaissance papacy was determined via bribery and other bullshit.

worked well for poland and the hre didn't it

The only difference is that you have to bribe dozens of people instead of just one.

How so?

Charles II was actually one of the better Spanish kings

>when you live in a republic and see monarcucks

take charles II of spain as example for all the monarchy is not the good way. But well, monarchy was good for a time, and I don't think that life is better today

>calling people plebs while supporting a republic
wew

she looks like putin, gross!

Republics based on republican tradition are cool, but it's a bit lame if they're too fresh from promising Monarchies (see: Brazil).

...

>kept spain out of wars
Keeping out of wars by being kicked down year after year by the French?

This. Dubs speak the truth
