Article or not?
Hello everybody! I have a problem: in the phrase In the United Kingdom there is constitutional monarchy should I put the article "a" after the verb? My English teacher says it's necessary, but I think it is not. Soon, Erasmo

Your sentence, however, is very awkward. I would rephrase it along the lines of:
The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy. - or - The form of government in the UK is a constitutional monarchy.
