Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Some absolute monarchs enjoyed successes during their reigns, such as France’s Louis XIV, but if the measure of success is the ability of the type of monarchy to persist over time, then the evidence is clear: Where European monarchies survive at all they are constitutional monarchies that exist at the pleasure of a democratic political system!. Since the Middle Ages, kings who tried to hold on to total control often met growing resistance from their subjects, as is seen in the sad record of England’s Charles I!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Constitutional because absolute means your a dictator and dictators get overthrown and constitutional means your a king but you wont get away with everything!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Constitutional monarchy because it will avoid absolutism and dictatorship if run properlyWww@QuestionHome@Com
