Some people say that the descendants of the royal family of South Korea still exist. Why does South Korea not implement a constitutional monarchy?

When there were no new ideas and new regimes in the country, many countries implemented a dictatorial monarchy, but as the people’s thinking became civilized, as the people’s desire for freedom, prosperity and rights gradually increased, it became a new kind of Ideas are fermented in this group, and this kind of thinking is democracy and republic. Some countries are very decisive about their past history, directly overthrowing the previous monarchy and starting to implement democratic, free and republican countries, but some countries are not so decisive, but only slightly changed the original monarchy. It has become the modern so-called "constitutional monarchy", whose original intention is to restrict the power of the monarch, thus turning the country into an ideal non-dictatorship.

The fall of the Korean dynasty


On the Korean peninsula, there was once a dynasty with 27 monarchs and an empire with two kings. This is the Lee dynasty that has ruled the area for hundreds of years. In such a dynasty, its last ruler is called Li Tuo. He was the last emperor of the Joseon Dynasty and the subjugated king of the Joseon Dynasty, and this person's resignation was caused by the country's old neighbor, who was later attempting to annex the land of China, Japan. King Gojong of Joseon is the 26th ruler of the Joseon Dynasty and the father of Chunjong. He inherited the throne from the partial branch of the Lee family of the Joseon royal family in the 1860s and became this country. The monarch of this peninsula; you know, his political ambitions are very big, which we can see from the country name and country name he changed later; it was in the 1890s, More than 30 years after he succeeded to the throne, he changed the country’s title and name to "The Empire of Korea". It was the change of this country title that made him the first king of the "Empire of Korea". It was this kind of publicity that made the national fortune of his "Korean Empire" only lasted for two generations, and when it was passed on to his son, the so-called empire began to go downhill.


At the same time, at the end of the nineteenth century, this Li Tuo, who was originally just the crown prince, became the crown prince of the empire because of his father’s change of year. In the early twentieth century, Gaozong After abdicating, the former crown prince Li Tuo transformed himself into the emperor of the empire and the emperor of the peninsula.

But three years later, the Japanese aggressors forced the crown prince to sign an unequal treaty. This treaty is the more famous "Japan-Korea Merger Treaty" in history. It is precisely because of the treaty that this is just survival. The empire of the two dynasties collapsed.

Why does South Korea not implement a constitutional monarchy?

This is because of various relationships and reasons. When Junzong was in power, Japan had actively strengthened its cultural control and infiltration of North Korea. During the reign of Junjong, Japan began to exert continuous pressure on the Korean Empire. Coupled with a series of reasons at that time, Han Chunzong sent his younger brother, Gaozong’s third son, to Japan to study. At that time, the younger brother was only ten years old. Although North Korea was not enough for Japan to fear, he was an aristocrat of the North Korean royal family. In order to start with this prince, he could cultivate pro-Japanese thinking for the people of the Korean Empire. This made Li Yin very caring during his studies in Japan. He not only became a Japanese officer here, but also married a princess of the Japanese imperial family. This is what made him soar in the Japanese military, only at a young age. He has become a Japanese lieutenant at a young age. The death of Junzong


erupted a series of influential patriotic movements, but because of the bloody suppression by the Japanese, the independence movement went bankrupt. At that time, the Japanese wanted to enslave the Koreans from the royal family and absorb them. It is precisely because of this that the Korean royal family at that time became the nominal "Japanese royal family".


After the end of World War II, North Korean people have planted the seeds of republic in their hearts. They have become accustomed to such a country. In addition, the government at that time has been operating in South Korea for a period of time, and the sudden change to a “constitutional monarchy” will make Many high-ranking people cannot eat cakes, and because of this, constitutional monarchy cannot be realized in Korea.
