 I'm American and I think constitutional monarchy is a better form of government than representative democracy.  
 As an American why? 
 A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. 

Monarchies have a better incentive for the monarch to have a lower time preference.  
 I appreciate your explanation thank you.
