After the Second World War, surviving European monarchies almost invariably adopted some variant of the constitutional monarchy model originally developed in Britain.

In some cases, constitutional monarchies have been dubbed " crowned republics ".

The Emperor is not the ( ceremonial ) commander-in-chief of the Japan Self-Defense Forces as in some other monarchies.

In some monarchies there may be liberty for the incumbent, or some body convening after his or her demise, to choose from eligible members of the ruling house, often limited to legitimate descendants of the dynasty's founder.

Election usually is the constitutional way to choose the head of state of a republic, and some monarchies, either directly through popular election, indirectly by members of the legislature or of a special college of electors ( such as the Electoral College in the United States ), or as an exclusive prerogative.

In hereditary monarchies, the office is passed through inheritance within a family group, whereas elective monarchies are selected by some system of voting.

( For instance, in some elected monarchies only those of certain pedigrees are considered eligible, whereas many hereditary monarchies have legal requirements regarding the religion, age, gender, mental capacity, and other factors that act both as de facto elections and to create situations of rival claimants whose legitimacy is subject to effective election.

In some monarchies the monarch may also exercise executive powers ( known as the royal prerogative ) which are constitutionally vested in the crown and may be exercised without the approval of parliament.

The term " Reichstag " also remains in use in the German language as the term for the parliaments of some foreign monarchies, such as Sweden's Riksdag and Japan's pre-war Imperial Diet.

There are also elective monarchies where ultimate power is vested in a monarch, but the monarch is chosen by some manner of election.

By this definition, dictatorial states are not republics, whereas, according to some such as Kant, constitutional monarchies may be.

* substantively, the heirs apparent in some monarchies use a specific princely title associated with a territory within the monarch's realm, e. g. the Princes of, respectively, Asturias ( Spain ), Grão Pará ( Brazil, formerly ), Orange ( Netherlands ), Viana ( Navarre, formerly ), Wales ( UK ), etc.

The title is still in use in some constitutional monarchies and designates the acting head of state while the monarch is abroad.

Although the titles and distinctions of the Italian royal family are not legally recognised by the Republic of Italy, the remaining members of the House of Savoy, like dynasties of other abolished monarchies, still use some of the various titles they acquired over the millennium of their reign prior to the republic's establishment, including Duke of Savoy, Prince of Naples, Prince of Piedmont and Duke of Aosta.

Indeed some monarchies never had a physical crown, just a heraldic representation, as in the constitutional kingdom of Belgium, where no coronation ever took place ; the royal installation is done by a solemn oath in parliament, wearing a military uniform: the King is not acknowledged as by divine right, but assumes the only hereditary public office in the service of the law ; so he in turn will swear in all members of " his " federal government.

The melody used is that of the national anthem of the UK, " God Save the Queen ", arranged by Thomas Arne and used by many Commonwealth realms and some other monarchies.

The position of hereditary constable persists in some current or former monarchies of Europe.

The tradition among Swedish regents is different to that of some other monarchies in that the motto is not the same for one dynasty, but is personal to the monarch.

All former monarchies had styles, some, as in the Bourbon monarchy of France, extremely complicated depending on the status of the office or office-holder.

In most hereditary monarchies and some elective monarchies ( e. g. Holy Roman Empire ) there have been no limits on the duration of a sovereign's reign or incumbency, nor is there a term of office.

While most realms have, in the documented past, calculated membership in the royal house as descending through the male line ( sometimes allowing females to inherit and sometimes not ), most European monarchies have now constitutionally eliminated preference in the line of succession to the throne for males ( Sweden, The Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark ), and some non-European royal families have contemplated doing so ( Japan, Thailand ).

In those days poems often told a story in verse and those boys had some corkers to tell ; ;

His name is Praisegod Piepsam, and he is rather fully described as to his clothing and physiognomy in a way which relates him to a sinister type in the author's repertory -- he is a forerunner of those enigmatic strangers in `` Death In Venice '', for example, who represent some combination of cadaver, exotic, and psychopomp.

This understanding, of course, may in its turn take many forms and some of these -- especially those most interesting to the student of comparative literature -- are essentially historical.

We must avoid the notion, suggested to some people by examples such as those just mentioned, that ideas are `` units '' in some way comparable to coins or counters that can be passed intact from one group of people to another or even, for that matter, from one individual to another.

Altogether, the list will give us considerable variety in attitudes and some typical ones, for these critics range all the way from censors to those who consider art above ethics, all the way from Plato to Poe.

To those of my readers who find many of my opinions morally, or politically, or sociologically antiquated ( and I have reason to know that there are some such ), I would like to say what I have already hinted, namely, that some of my opinions may indeed be subject to some discount on the simple ground that I am no longer young and therefore incapable of being youthful of mind.

But when some of the squeals had subsided and she had been through one of those sessions that are so indispensable to the young female -- six girls sprawled on one bed, drinking Cokes and giggling -- she came back to the kitchen to talk with me a minute.

And all this too shall pass away: it came to him out of some dim corner of memory from a church service when he was a boy -- yes, in a white church with a thin spur steeple in the patriarchal Hudson Valley, where a feeling of plenitude was normal in those English-Dutch manors with their well-fed squires.

`` Well '', he began, `` It seems like some people in Paris want to hear more from me than those fellers over at the conference house do.

It occurred to me that you might be interested in some thoughts which I expressed privately in recent years, in the hope of clearing up a certain confusion in the public mind about what foreign policy is all about and what it means, and of developing a certain compassion for those who are carrying such responsibilities inside Government.

set production ( excluding those destined for the export market ) also ran ahead in the early months, but was curtailed after the usual vacation shutdowns in the face of growing evidence that some of the early production plans had been overly optimistic.

If those aren't enough for you, why not grow some just for winter blooming??

For those who plan to travel to Europe by one route and return by another some agencies offer a service whereby you can pick up a car in one city on arrival and leave it in another city, or even another country, when you are ready to return home.

Still there is a way for those who want to see some of the back country of Europe by car.

Observations of the radio emission of a planet which has an extensive atmosphere will probe the atmosphere to a greater extent than those using shorter wave lengths and should in some cases give otherwise unobtainable information about the characteristics of the solid surface.

Now the thing for us to do is to find ourselves a couple of those wonderful flowering currants such as the red Ribes sanguineum of our Pacific Northwest, or otherwise a good sloe tree, or perhaps some nice pussy willow in bloom, preferably one with male or staminate catkins.

Moreover, when the experimenter did inform those subjects that there were some normal people who did not have their arm rise once they relaxed, the Kohnstamm-positive subjects were uninfluenced in their subsequent reactions to the Kohnstamm situation.

Particularly hard for the therapist to grasp are those instances in which the patient is manifesting an introject traceable to something in the therapist, some aspect of the therapist of which the latter is himself only poorly aware, and the recognition of which, as a part of himself, he finds distinctly unwelcome.

Instead, he constantly became lost in parts and components of them, confused some of their details with those of neighboring objects, and so on, unless he allowed time to `` trace '' the object in question through minute movements of the head and hands and in this way to discover its contours.

The silicate fractions of stony meteorites show gallium / germanium ratios similar to those of tektites because they too have undergone melting at some point in their histories.

It is also sufficient to show the Christian and any other champion of justice that he needs to make sure not only that his cause is just but also that his conduct is just, i.e., that, if economic pressure has to be resorted to, this be applied directly against those persons directly in the way of some salutary change in business or institutional practices, while, if injury fall upon others, it fall upon them indirectly and secondarily ( however inevitably ) and not by deliberate intent and direct action against them.
