文法句型

monarchical + noun

monarchical system / rule / government

用法筆記

Frequently modifies abstract nouns like system, rule, government, tradition, or state — not the monarch as a person. Distinguish from 'royal', which typically describes things that belong to or come from a specific king or queen (the royal family, a royal wedding).
