Opposition to or organized resistance against monarchy as a form of government, including efforts to replace it with alternative political systems.
Formed from 'anti-' (against) and 'monarchy' (rule by a single sovereign). The term emerged as a political ideology during the Age of Enlightenment and became formalized during revolutionary periods.
Antimonarchy isn't the same as being against specific monarchs—it's a systematic belief that having any one person rule by hereditary right is fundamentally unjust, making it a complete reimagining of power.
