This is a great question. A good place to start is with
the political theory of the ancient Greek historian, Polybius. He states that there are
three forms of government in our world: monarchy, oligarchy, and democracy. He also
states that each form of government has positive and negative points. So, we need to
keep in mind that monarchies have both positive and negative
aspects.
Since this is a question on the benefits on
monarchy, I will give you three. First, monarchies in times of deadlock can get the job
done. Sometimes you need a strong leader who will break stalemates and push the nation
forward. Second, monarchies are more efficient, because there are no opposing parties.
So, there is the matter of efficiency. Third, in extreme times and extreme difficulties,
you need a good monarch figure to straighten things out. The only times monarchies are
less desirable is during good times.
