Which statement explains why the british system of government is a constitutional monarchy? a. the prime minister is chosen according to the constitution. b. the king or queen has more power than the elected parliament. c. a king or queen is the head of state, but parliament makes the laws. d. some members of parliament are elected, while others are appointed.

The correct answer is - C. a king or queen is the head of state, but Parliament makes the laws.

The United Kingdom officially goes as a country that is a constitutional monarchy. This means that the head of the state is a king or a queen. In practice though, the monarch doesn't really has any particular political power but it is more of a symbolic and traditional thing. The king or queen have their title by the law of inheritance, thus the monarch is from the family.

In practice, the British society is a parliamentary democracy. There's a multiparty system when the people are free to choose their leaders on elections.
