TO Constitutional Monarchists
>Where does the crown, as a symbol, belong in a constitutional monarchy? What does it symbolize and where does it benefit over the constitution; is it more important than the constitution?
The monarchical equivalent of a constitution is its crown. It is the final authority and symbol of monarchy. The sovereignty survives around it as an instrument of organic rule. A crown is what God gives and what people receive. It is the traditional and most legitimate governments to have crowns instead of constitutions. It is what sovereignty is made of. Between a people and justice, the crown remains a symbol of humility and heritage. Concrete blood over intangible ideals. It is designed to be worn and allow for civil order and laws. It is divine and spiritual. It represents a pan-European sovereign status belonging to royalty since long ago.
<How could a crown be anything like a constitution, OP?
Let me answer this. It is the authority behind sovereign nations. A constitution is no different than a crown. It captures the same oath and duty, the responsibility to the sovereign's source of power, and the emblem of justice.
<OP, there are no words, no articles, no dogma, and no ideologies within a crown
Because a crown is for organic, traditional government and traditional authority. By traditional authority, that is the traditions handed down from the crown from monarch to crown prince. The royal's constitution is his ancestral wisdom; the achievements of father and grandfather, great ancestor and mighty heroes of the past. Their heritage is their guideline for all aspirations. It is unwritten. The monarchy, for what it is, rather than a state is a royal household and operates within this structure. The monarchy doesn't depend on voting and political activism, or dividing the multitude into political castes or partisanships. It doesn't come about through monarchist parties. It isn't social contract theory, for the most part, that brings a monarchy. It is who is born and how this generational growth will bring individual sovereigns. The birth of a new royal to succeed and look back to the achievements of their ancestors. The crown succeeds the constitution in spirit and individual power.
