4. What types of government are there?

Four common types are:

▪ Monarchy
▪ Dictatorship
▪ Democracy
▪ Theocracy
 Democracy

▪ In a democracy, the government is

elected by the people. Everyone who is
eligible to vote has a chance to have their
say over who runs the country. It is distinct
from governments controlled by a
particular social class or group.

▪ A democracy is determined either directly

or through elected representatives.
 Direct Democracy

▪ People vote directly on every issue

▪ Only practical in a small community

DIRECT DEMOCRACY

Direct democracy, sometimes called "pure

democracy," is a form of democracy in which all
laws and policies imposed by governments are
determined by the people themselves, rather than
by representatives who are elected by the people.

In a true direct democracy, all laws, bills, and even

court decisions are voted on by all citizens.
 Representative Democracy

▪ People are represented by elected officials

▪ Used in large countries

▪ Also known as a Republic Government

- A republic is a government in
which the supreme power resides in a body of
citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by
elected officers and representatives.
Monarchy

▪ Power is in the hands of a king,

queen, emperor or empress.
▪ The ruling position can be
passed on to the ruler’s heirs.
▪ In some traditional monarchies,
the monarch has absolute
power.
▪ But a constitutional monarchy,
like the UK, also has a
democratic government that
limits the monarch's control.
MONARCHY

Example:

The monarchy of the United Kingdom, commonly

referred to as the British monarchy, is
the constitutional form of government by which a hereditary
sovereign reigns as the head of state of the United
Kingdom, the Crown Dependencies and the British
Overseas Territories. The current monarch is King Charles
III, who ascended the throne on 8 September 2022,
upon the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Dictatorship

▪ A country ruled by a single

leader. The leader has not
been elected and may use
force to keep control.

▪ In a military dictatorship, the

army is in control.
DICTATORSHIP

Autocratic form of government which is ruled by a

sole leader.

Example:
North Korea has been ruled by one of the world’s longest-
running dynastic dictatorships. Three generations of the
Kim family have ruled with absolute authority, using heavy
repression and a system of patronage that ensures support
from elites and the military.
The latest supreme leader: Kim Jong-un
 Theocracy

▪ Governmental rulers are identical with the

leaders of the dominant religion
▪ Governmental policies are either identical with or
strongly influenced by the principals of the
majority religion.
▪ Government claims to rule on behalf of God or a
higher power
 Theocracy

Theocracy, government by divine guidance or by

officials who are regarded as divinely guided. In
many theocracies, government leaders are
members of the clergy, and the state’s legal
system is based on religious law. Theocratic rule
was typical of early civilizations.
