Abstract
In the contemporary, the British monarchy stands as a steadfast symbol of tradition and continuity, juxtaposed against the prevailing dominance of French republican ideals, which champion the values of liberty, equality, and fraternity. This article embarks on an exploration of how historical events have left an indelible mark on present-day national political systems, employing a comparative analysis of the British and French constitutional monarchies. It meticulously scrutinizes the divergent paths these two nations have taken within the realm of constitutional monarchy. The analysis underscores that Britain's evolution has been characterized by a gradual and stable transformation, culminating in the establishment of a ceremonial monarchy. In contrast, France's journey has been tumultuous, marked by revolutionary fervor and a transition between monarchy and republic. The study sheds light on the pivotal influence of radical factions and the multifaceted challenges encountered by countries on their quest for constitutional governance. Moreover, it delves into the contemporary roles of monarchs in political systems, the place occupied by royal families in society, and their significant role in shaping national identity.
