Wow, my first post in like a month! Anyway, I could see the stewards of Gondor as a type of Prime Minister. Or maybe I'm thinking of Japanese shoguns and emperors. Anyway, the Kings almost seem to have some kind of divine right. Ingwe, Elwe, and Finwe were all chosen by Orome or the Valar. The Valar pretty much took Feanor's right to kingship and gave it to Fingolfin.
