Constitutional monarchy is a type of government in which a sovereign can rule under the limits of constitution. His power is limited by the text of constitution or principles of it.

This means that ministers of government formulate parliamentary acts and assume responsibility, however, sovereign has to sing them; constitutionally, these acts are considered to be acts of sovereign which is political neutral authority. Very strong is the idea that “king can do not wrong”.

In constitutional monarchy the sovereign still keeps some ceremonial and formal powers (nomination of a prime minister, dissolution of parliament), as well as prerogative powers. The most important of his rights are following: the right to be consulted, the right to encourage and the right to warn (Bagehot’s “trinity of rights”).
