What does it mean to say that Canada is a constitutional monarchy?

  1. The country is ruled by a dictator

  2. The Head of State is an elected official

  3. The Head of State is a hereditary Sovereign

  4. The country has no laws

The correct answer is: The Head of State is a hereditary Sovereign

A constitutional monarchy is a form of government where the country's Head of State is a hereditary Sovereign, meaning they inherit their position through a royal bloodline. This differs from a dictator (A) who typically holds power through force and intimidation, and an elected official (B) who is chosen by the people to serve as Head of State. Option D is incorrect as all countries have laws, regardless of their form of government.
