They know what a king is, to show them constantly disrespecting a king they say they're loyal to makes them look just as bad as a king who can't earn his position.

That is EXACTLY the point of checks and balances. That is why modern nations invented those and no longer have absolute monarchs. To try and avoid having dopes as our leaders(the success is questionable). As for kings and the church; if by checks and balances you mean they would periodically go to war and attempt to murder each other, then yeah sure they had checks and balances.

I hate history. Sure stuff it into my brain during K-12, but why make me take it in college

. I has nothing to do with my major, I could be sleeping

I think it was Henry. Didn't the church prevent him from doing stuff? No, ok I'm stupid. Sorry.
