Non centralized absolutism. While I can appreciate the ideas behind the Magna-Carta it had the unfortunate effect of undermining monarchism by changing the legitimacy of government away from Divine Right. Divine Right is inseparable from Monarchy because it explains why the hierarchy exists in the first place. A monarchist site that I frequent explained is thusly:

When it is said that the kings have descended from the divine, it means that they are the continuation of the best in our people, which is closest to the divine because such people have the best understanding of reality, the highest moral standards, and will advance civilization by not merely reacting to conditions but by imposing a creative focus to their leadership by which they not only do what is practical, but improve the quality of what exists so that it rises above what we previously thought was possible.

To hominids gathering beetles, roots and bush meat it must have been inconceivable that something like imperial Rome or pre-democracy Athens might exist. In the same way, to modern people it seems impossible that life can be anything more than gathering jobs, consumer products and triplicate forms. But it is possible to rise above and then keep on rising.

For that reason, traditional societies saw their aristocrats as a gift from God. These were people blessed with not just intellectual power, but moral goodness, and within that, the aesthetic preference for beauty, truth, sanity and excellence. These people alone can make a great society.

At the same time, power needs to be kept local. Your town's local lord knows what is best for the town than the King located on the other side of the continent even though the King knows what is best for the nation as a whole.
