Monarchism is the political belief that a country should be governed by a monarch, such as a king or queen, often as the head of state. It matters because it represents one of the major competing visions for how societies should be organized, contrasting with systems like democracy or republics where power is held by elected representatives or the people.

Monarchism is the advocacy of the system of monarchy or monarchical rule. A monarchist is an individual who supports this form of government independently of any specific monarch, whereas one who supports a particular monarch is a royalist. Conversely, the opposition to monarchical rule is referred to as republicanism.
