History
Conrad established a constitutional monarchy in 1841, upon the behest of rebelling ministers. In 1887, after Marguerite allowed Leuren to gain more autonomy, the Queen started to remove powers from herself in order to pacify radical republicans. In the 1930s, the absolute monarchy was restored briefly. Louis X set up a ceremonial role permanently in 1959 after a scandal in the government.
