Why Change from Republic to Monarchy?

[anweRU]

The problem is, republic and absolute monarchy BOTH get the same industrialization penalty (more or less). CM gets none. That doesn't make sense. I'm pretty sure GB had as much worker unrest as the USA and continental Europe in the 18th & 19th centuries.

I suppose they could point out to the late-20th century French, Italians and Greeks (among a few others) as examples of industrial unrest in republics.

Thats because the republic and absolute monarchy include the lower classes to whom the penalties apply, while the constitutional monarchy has the nobility and the middle classes in power... that also decreases some of the unrest created by the enlightment techs
