[Lion King] Why does the Savannah have a monarchy?

The whole kingdom seems to respect the monarchy, showing up for and bowing at the presentation of Simba, but what is the monarchy's propose? What are the king's duties and how much do the other animals have to obey him?

The Lions are both the protectors of the Pride Lands and in charge of maintaining the Circle of Life.

Which means that they are enforcing a strict hunting code to ensure that the natural ecosystem is healthy.

Remember how the land was dying once Scar was put in charge? Some of it might be explained with the land rejecting him as it's king, but most of the damage came from his decision to allow the Hyenas to hunt as they please.
