What is a constitutional monarchy?

Norway is a constitutional monarchy, meaning the King is the head of state but his powers are limited by a constitution. He doesn't govern directly; instead, an elected government makes the decisions. His role is largely ceremonial, representing the nation and upholding its traditions, as King Haakon's oath to the constitution shows.
