A constitutional monarch, is a monarch whose powers are limited by a constitution. An absolute monarch (for example Louis XIV of France) will rule without a constitution, investing all powers in themselves as a monarch with little or no bureaucracy, and few restrictions on his actions.
A absolute monarchy means the monarch acts as the sole power of authority for the state. In a constitutional monarchy, the monarch acts as head of state, but is bound by a set of rules or constitution which limit their power in some way. Constitutional monarchies often have a parlimentary system, and sometimes (but not always) the monarch plays largely a ceremonial role. Constitutional monarchies have also co-existed in facist states.
