	monarchy - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about monarchy (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Absolute monarchs rule by the ‘divine right of kings’, their right to rule being given by God and, therefore, unchallengeable.
		Monarchs were anointed in the coronation service, which declared their sovereignty over their subjects; in theory, to disobey the crown was, therefore, to disobey God.
		The subsequent attempt of the Stuart monarchs to re-establish the principle of divine right to rule led eventually to the English Civil War (1642–49) and the Bill of Rights (1689), which established the principle of constitutional monarchy in England.

	[No title]
		In Russia and Bulgaria the imperial connotations of the term were blurred with time and, by the 19th century, it had come to be viewed as an equivalent of King.
		During the five-century period of Ottoman rule in Bulgaria, the sultan was frequently referred to as "tsar".
		With the declaration of full independence, Ferdinand I of Bulgaria adopted the traditional title "tsar" in 1908 and it was used until the abolition of the monarchy in 1946.

	The magnificent migrating monarch
		Monarchs can be taken hundreds of kilometres off course and still find their way to their destination.
		The monarch’s life cycle is an amazing story in itself: the adult lays an egg, and from the egg, a caterpillar hatches.
		It is not likely that monarchs would have had programmed into them, from the beginning of creation, the exact route of their journey, but rather the capacity to establish such migration patterns and carry them out.

	List of Bulgarian monarchs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is a list of Bulgarian monarchs from the earliest records in the Nominalia of the Bulgarian khans to 1946, when the monarchy in the country was abolished.
		After Bulgaria's liberation from Ottoman yoke in 1878, the country became an autonomous principality under a Prince (knjaz) of Bulgaria.
		With the proclamation of full independence in 1908, Bulgaria's monarchs adopted the traditional title tsar (car) of the Bulgarians, which was no longer construed as imperial either in Bulgaria or internationally (in diplomacy, it was rendered in French as roi des bulgares).

		Although Tsar Ferdinand I of Bulgaria (1861-1948) was one of many monarchs to lose his throne in 1918, he had shown remarkable ability to retain it till the end in the face of civil disturbance, revolution and military defeat.
		For all that Ferdinand was the nominal ruler of Bulgaria, until 1894 policy was dominated by the Bulgarian Prime Minister, Stefan Nikolov Stambolov.
		Having survived revolution in Bulgaria towards the close of the war, Ferdinand was finally forced to abdicate by the Allies in early October 1918 in favour of his son Boris III, having surrendered to the allies in late September.

	Civil Service Systems in Comparative Perspective
		The high degree of political polarisation which has characterised Bulgaria, in combination with a long standing tradition of using the civil service for partisan purposes, have so far prevented the implementation of a constructive administrative reform policy, even though a comprehensive administrative reform strategy was developed in 1995.
		At the time of writing, Bulgaria is without a government, a result of the resignation of the Socialist-led Videnov government in late December 1996 and the delay of the following government formation process due to the political unrest in the week-end of 10 January 1997.
		Bulgaria was part of the Ottoman empire until the late 1870s.

		Bulgaria's front crumbled in September 1918 before a combined Allied force of Serbian, British, French, Italian and Greek armies, and on September 30, 1918 Bulgaria signed an Armistice of surrender.

	Advantages
		This government hath glory, order, unity, from a monarch; from the government of the most and wisest, it hath safety of counsel, stability, strength; from the influence of the commons, it hath liberty, privileges, promptitude of obedience.
		That is, when you compare the monarch to a politician, nothing monumental or of lasting value is seen in the elected official, but the monarch represents a glory and honor and pre-eminence that words cannot adequately convey.
		Another powerful reason that monarchs end up being a bargain and stabilizing influence is that the King has no "special interest;" his kingdom’s future depends on the welfare of the entire nation and all its people, not on special interest groups or lobbyists.

	Macedonian Heritage - Opinion: “Bulgaria: A monarch’s return” by Costas Iordanidis
		The impressive election victory won last Sunday by the party of the former king of Bulgaria, Symeon II, is a major political development, both in terms of the changes it is expected to bring to Bulgaria itself and in terms of the consequences to be expected for the region as a whole.
		The challenge facing Symeon is to restore Bulgaria to order and prosperity, bringing to heel the economic oligarchy which came into being in the wake of the communist system and forcing it to play its part in an orderly and well-governed social system.
		Symeon’s political career—at least to date—offers Bulgaria the assurance that it has acquired a leader who will not be seeking his own enrichment, a pawn in the hands of the economic oligarchy and the foreign ‘investors’ in the country.

	Why Hate Monarchs?
		The classical-liberal tradition was never hostile to monarchs as such; it was government power they opposed, and where the monarch restrained the state, he won their favor.
		A good monarch can be a fantastic ruler but history shows that they will inevitably be succeeded by a bad monarch and a bad monarch is essentially a despot, which is about the worst form of government possible.
		The old Catholic monarchs didn't have the power to be despots, they simply had very little say over the day to day lives of their subjects.

		The 6-year-old Simeon was proclaimed king by Parliament and ruled through regents, although he reportedly was such a quick study that he was sitting in on meetings with the prime minister.
		But in 1946 the monarchy was abolished in a referendum, widely believed to have been rigged by the Communists, and Simeon fled with his mother, Queen Ioanna, into exile in Egypt.
