- kergonath 4y agoIt’s more of an argument against monarchy than for perpetual bonds.
- kazen44 4y agobut people do consent to the monarchy? mind you, the netherlands is a constitutional monarchy in which the king is legally bound by the constitution. Changing the constitution to just absolve the monarchy is a possibility. One that just hasn't happened yet, because the monarchy in the netherlands is quite popular. Also, in the past two decades, the monarch had to resign some roles he still played in goverment. (like appointing the "informateur" and "formateur" during the formation of a new cabinet.) This all happens without his approval, because he doesn't have the power to draft and implement laws. That is done by both chambers of goverment.
