Although monarchy and constitutional republic are diametrically different systems of governance, the United States and the former Austro-Hungarian Empire were both employing the same principle of subsidiarity.<\/p>\n<p>According to Habsburg, the United States is built on a great idea, and its unique structure of how townships, homesteads, and counties are built is totally different from what is in Europe. \u201cAmerica has the seed of really being the land of freedom, the land of the free,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h3>Respect for Local Rights<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cAmerica is built from the bottom up,\u201d Habsburg said. It has built homesteads first, then township, county, and state. \u201cThe strongest power is on the basis,\u201d Habsburg explained, meaning the lower the level of government, the stronger its power.<\/p>\n<p>Respect for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ny-gov-hochul-fails-to-insert-denser-housing-into-suburbs-through-state-budget\/\" title=\"NY Gov. Hochul Fails to Insert Denser Housing into Suburbs Through State Budget\">local rights<\/a> has been the Habsburg principle even from the 13th century, Habsburg said. He cited advice given by Emperor Charles V to his son Philip II, the king of Spain: \u201cIf you rule over several nations and countries, you have to respect their languages, their rights, their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/shapiro-wokeifying-americas-military\/\" title=\"SHAPIRO: Wokeifying America\u2019s Military\">political institutions<\/a>, their habits, local habits, and their peculiarities or you will be in deep trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The principle to respect the lower level of the country\u2019s administrative structure can be illustrated by the relationship between the Habsburgs and Hungary, Habsburg said. When the Habsburgs began to respect Hungarians and their local rights, gave them the right to call in their own diet, and let themselves be crowned the king of Hungary, the Austro-Hungarian Empire became great, Habsburg said.<\/p>\n<h3>Monarchs vs. Elected Leaders<\/h3>\n<p>Although monarchy is considered a tyrannical system of governance by some intellectuals and portrayed as such in literature and movies, Habsburg believes that there are positive sides to royalty and focuses on those aspects in his book.<\/p>\n<p>The great difference between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mike-kelly-same-people-criticizing-trump-peddled-russia-collusion-hoax\/\" title=\"Mike Kelly: Same People Criticizing Trump Peddled Russia Collusion Hoax\">political leaders<\/a> of today and monarchs is that \u201ca monarch is in it for life\u201d while a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/blue-state-blues-gets-worse\/\" title=\"Blue State Blues Gets Worse\">political leader<\/a> can hold an office in government only for a certain period of time and then moves to another job, Habsburg said. \u201cThat\u2019s a temptation in today\u2019s political world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another big difference between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-omicron-factor-the-media-wont-tell-you-about\/\" title=\"The Omicron Factor the Media Won\u2019t Tell You About\">elected political leaders<\/a> and monarchs manifests in their approach to crisis, Habsburg said. Elected officials are always tempted to pay attention to headlines in the news, worrying which headline will help them get reelected and which headline will pose a risk to their political career, but monarch does not need to be concerned with media coverage, Habsburg said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>strength of local government is key to a stable and successful country, according to Eduard Habsburg.
