    See, the great thing about democracies (compared to monarchies) is that the heads of state and their families are subject to the same laws as everyone else…oh, wait.

      Norway is both a monarchy and a democracy. There are several countries in Europe that are considered to be some of the most democratic in the world, which just happen to have a monarch as the head of state instead of a president.

      What you are thinking of is an absolute monarchy, rather than a constitutional monarchy.
