Constitutional monarchy is Canada's system of government. An absolute monarchy is one where the monarch has unchecked power. A constitutional monarch, in contrast, is limited by the laws of the Constitution. Constitutional monarchs do not directly rule. Instead, they carry out constitutional, ceremonial and representational duties. 3, record 1, English, - constitutional%20monarchy

La monarchie constitutionnelle est le système du gouvernement du Canada. Dans une monarchie absolue, le monarque jouit d’un pouvoir illimité. À l'opposé, dans une monarchie constitutionnelle, son pouvoir est limité par les lois de la Constitution. Les monarques constitutionnels ne règnent pas directement. Ils exercent plutôt des fonctions constitutionnelles, cérémonielles et représentatives. 2, record 1, French, - monarchie%20constitutionnelle

Monarquía constitucional. Es el tipo de monarquía que surge de la Constitución francesa de 1791 y que posteriormente instaurarían muchos países europeos durante el siglo XIX. En este régimen, el rey ostenta el poder ejecutivo pero no el legislativo. Este último es llevado a cabo por una cámara de representantes elegidos normalmente por los ciudadanos. 1, record 1, Spanish, - monarqu%C3%ADa%20constitucional

The War of the Grand Alliance, also known as the War of the League of Augsburg, the Nine Years War, the Orleans War, the War of the Palatinian Succession, and the War of the English Succession, was a major war fought in Europe and Colonial America from 1688 to 1697, between France and the League of Augsburg - which, by 1689, was known as the "Grand Alliance" when England and others joined. The war was fought to resit French expansionism along the Rhine, as well as, on the part of England, to safeguard the results of the Glorious Revolution from a possible French-backed restoration of James II of England. 1, record 2, English, - War%20of%20the%20Grand%20Alliance

La guerre de la ligue d’Augsbourg, également appelée guerre de Neuf Ans, eut lieu de 1688 à 1697. Elle opposa la France sous la monarchie absolue de Louis XIV, alliée au Danemark et à l'empire Ottoman, à une grande coalition, d’abord défensive. Celle-ci comptait principalement l'Angleterre sous la monarchie constitutionnelle de Guillaume III d’Angleterre, l'empereur d’Allemagne et plusieurs Électeurs, l'Espagne, les Pays-Bas, la Savoie et la Suède. Elle se plaçait dans le contexte de l'opposition entre les Bourbons et les Habsbourgs, notamment pour le contrôle de l'Espagne. 1, record 2, French, - guerre%20de%20la%20ligue%20d%26rsquo%3BAugsbourg
