For the most part, the laws that operate in monarchies are the same types of laws that operate in republics, dictatorships, and other forms of government (e.g. contract law, tort law, property law, criminal law, family law, corporate law, etc.). The only unique laws that operate in a monarchy are laws concerning (1) the internal function of government (e.g. how are laws passed, enacted, etc.), (2) the laws of succession (e.g. which person will inherit power and under what conditions), and (3) lèse-majesté (laws about punishment for insulting the monarch). However, many dictators who are not monarchs have laws similar to lèse-majesté, even if the term for such "respect of the ruler laws" are not technically lèse-majesté.
