| I think you might have problems with the term constitutional monarchy-
A constitutional monarchy is defined "as a monarch whoose power is limited by legislative instruments or bodies".
Saudi Arabia's Swaziland's and Oman's monarchy are not limited in such a way. In case you were wondering, Saudi Arabia's monarchy appoints the legislative body, the Council of Ministers, a Parliament was convened in Swaziland but was abolished, and same with Oman, majlies being the Arabic word for a Parliament but too did not have much teeth.
Including UAE as a constitutional monarchy is a stretch. Yes, the monarchy is not absolute, simply because the overriding aspect of the UAE is that power is shared among the Emirates of the UAE in a federal system (similiar to that of the USA) and consequently there are legislative bodies (But the Emir of Dubai, or the Emir of Ras-Al-Khaimah or so on has absolute power WITHIN their emirate). |
