Explanation:

If a country or organisation tries to hold economic influence and power over other it is called economic imperialism. It can be exerted in from of a colony where a foreign country control the protectorate and controls the local government.

Colonisation was also a form of imperialism. It has been practised throughout history but the period form early 18th to mid 20th century is known as Age of Imperialism.

Imperialism enriched the imperialist country as hey gain the mining products and agricultural resources and trade markets. Conquered people were forced into low wage work and slavery.  

During the Age of Imperialism the industrialised nations competed to control the non industrialised regions of the world as the human, natural resources were cheaply available.

In Britain, the Glorious Revolution of 1688 led to a Constitutional Monarchy restricted by laws such as the Bill of Rights 1689 and the Act of Settlement 1701. Although limits on the power of the monarch are much older than that, as seen in our Magna Carta. Constitutional Monarchy most notably occurred in continental Europe after the French Revolution. Today the monarchy in Britain is politically neutral and by convention the role is largely ceremonial.

Napoleon Bonaparte is considered to be “the first monarch” proclaiming himself as embodiment of the nation rather than as a divinely-appointed ruler in contrast the Divine Right of French Kings before him. This interpretation of monarchy is basic to continental Constitutional Monarchies. Today constitutional monarchy is almost always combined with representative democracy, and represents  a compromise between total trust in the electorate, and in well-bred and well-trained monarchs raised for the role from birth.
