Don’t have to have a divine right.
Tribal tradition is enough.
There are excellent historical reasons for monarchy.
Its not something the US has needed, but the French are not the same as the Americans.

“Tribal tradition is enough.”

Booga booga. And what about those citizens of the Republic, who have a tradition of being free of Monarchs? Who should prevail when such a person and a monarch meet?

Does the monarch defer to the free citizen? Or must the citizen submit to the leadership of a nobleman because part of France (a tribe) thinks he should.
And in your thinking, is a Frenchman destined to be a tribe member and nothing more? Does this “tribe” trump their freedom and natural rights?

Remember, our constitution does not grant rights, it recognizes that all men are born with them. A Frenchman possesses these rights whether or not any French government will recognize them.
Fascinated.

Thomas Paine, “Common Sense” destroyed them one by one.
