Sorry, perhaps I should have been clearer.
The USA and most pure democracies have a 3 pillar system -
executive, legislative and judicial. The USA legislative branch is the
Senate and House of Representatives.
A constitutional monarchy is a 4 pillar system - monarch,
executive, legislative and judicial. The UK legislative branch
consists of the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
The monarch is a stabilizing force that is there if needed but
does not normally exert much control.
