What makes a constitutional monarchy different from a absolute monarchy?

From what i have learned and gathered in class recently i believe that an constitutional monarchy would be better because more opinions would be considered. i think if it was an absolute monarchy then all opinions would be similar because it would all be in the family so to speak. And in a way I believe more power would be in the people's hands because the power is really outside the royal family. I don't know this may make not make any sense to anyone else but that's just how i see it. Sorry if i was not helpful.

monarchy works by eating alot of consitutional chocolate. The up side of it is that it is awesome, the down side is that it smells.
