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.
