The Last Thing We Need is a Monarchy

BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN In a world that worships progress, equality, and democracy, the idea of a monarchy seems absurd. Why cling to an institution built on hereditary privilege, ancient traditions, and unearned power? A presidency is modern, democratic, and merit-based. Clearly, the last thing we need is a monarchy.
