| Abdication is the act of formally relinquishing monarchical authority. Abdications have played various roles in the succession procedures of monarchies. While some cultures have viewed abdication as an extreme abandonment of duty, in other societies (such as pre-Meiji Restoration Japan), abdication was a regular event, and helped maintain stability during political succession. * Historically, abdications have either occurred by force (where the regent was forced to abdicate on pain of death or other severe consequences) or voluntarily. Some rulers are ruled to have abdicated in absentia, vacating the physical throne and thus their position of power, although these judgments were generally pronounced by successors with vested interest in seeing the throne abdicated, and often without or despite the direct input of the abdicating monarch. * Recently, due to the largely ceremonial nature of the regent in many constitutional monarchies, many monarchs have abdicated due to old age, such as the monarchs of Spain, Cambodia, and the Netherlands. |
