I think that a case can be made that Monarchy is a creation ordinance.

What was the nature of the "civil government" that Adam exercised in the (pre-fall) garden? Was he elected? Did he rely on the delegated consent of the governed? Or did he rule by "jus divinum"?

Was he a Prime Minister, a President, or a King?
