Are you opposed to inheritance of power and wealth in general, or is it just when it comes to kings and queens that you cannot understand the concept of inheritance?
I find the institution of the republic to be contrary to my beliefs on individualism and individual rights. I do not believe in a Government 'owned' by the people as a collective. Still, I respect the legitimate republics that are chosen by the people.
