How could the British monarchy be dismantled?

@JoyfulSilence Hmmm. I think the magna carta mainly limited the powers of the monarchy. I'm not sure what status it has, (if any) in today's government or monarchy, but from it are descended some modern concepts of freedom, including the constitution of the USA. Wish I knew more about it but its history is pretty complicated :).

@Really

I was just being sarcastic. I bet a lot has happened to the English and later British government since then. But I am an American so do not know the details.

@JoyfulSilence Haha, OK. Despite my British upbringing, I likely know know even less about magna carta than you do. I'd long forgotten anything about it. My own attempts at sarcasm here usually backfire or just fail.

@JoyfulSilence why?the magna carta was designed to keep the monarchy in check,and guarantee justice for all the subjects.

@Really

I have never read it.

But it was featured in that Robin Hood film with Russel Crowe. Robin Hood is real history, right? 😁

@wonkywinky

Oh, I was just trying to think of a document.

In the States we amend the Constitution. I have no clue how such dramatic changes as becoming a full Republic would have to happen in Britain.

@JoyfulSilence Well ... How much of history is real an d how do we know?

@JoyfulSilence You're not alone there!

@Really

We know history, because somebody wrote it down, right?
Whether or not these people are telling the truth is another matter. 🤪

That is why we need to read more and try and figure it out. Also, it helps to have other artifacts to corroborate the texts.

This is why I am a mathematician. It can all be figured out all over again today just like it was done in the past. And future mathematicians can think it all out fresh, too.

Of course, there is a subfield of math (or history?) called the history of mathematics.

There may be no stupid questions but there are plenty of bloody silly answers! (Just a general observation 😊)

@Really

Did you post something? I cannot see it.
