A dualistic monarchy (from Latin dualis “dual”) or an executive monarchy ( English executive monarchy ) is a constitutional monarchy in which the monarch’s power is limited by constitution or constitutional acts, but the monarch formally and actually retains extensive power.

The power of the monarch under the dualistic monarchy is limited in the legislative field by parliament . At the same time, the monarch has an unlimited right to dissolve the parliament and the right of an absolute veto regarding the laws adopted. The government forms the monarch, therefore, the real political power is retained by the monarch [1] .
A characteristic feature of the dualistic monarchy is the formal legal division of state power between the monarch and parliament. Executive power is in the hands of the monarch, and legislative power is in the hands of parliament.
Examples
The Russian Empire as a dualistic monarchy existed in 1905-1917 . Also dualistic monarchies were Germany ( 1871 - 1918 ) and Japan ( 1890 - 1947 ) [2] .
The dualistic monarchy was Austria-Hungary , and in this case the term “dualistic” has both legal and territorial-administrative significance.
