Trivia: Which country went from an absolute to a constitutional monarchy in 2008?
Bhutan
United Kingdom
Japan
Oman
The correct answer is Bhutan
So why is this answer correct? : At the turn of the 21st century, Bhutan — located on the eastern edge of the Himalayas — underwent a major political shift. After the abdication of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck in 2006, the throne transferred to his politically progressive son Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuk. The country held its first democratic elections in 2007, and by 2008, the full switch from absolute monarchy to constitutional was complete.
