Political system
refers broadly to the process by which laws are made and
public resources allocated in a society, and to the
relationships among those involved in making these
decisions.
What are the four basic kinds of
political systems?
The major types of political systems are monarchy, democracy,
dictatorship, and communism.

Monarchy
A monarchy is a type of political system where the president gets into power
without an election. In this political arrangement, the president assumes power
through inheritance within the family. The citizens under the monarchy
systems have no right or voice to elect their leader. Monarchies are divided into
two categories. Autocracy monarchies are where the leader is the head of the
government and enjoys full state power.
Democratic or Constitutional Monarchies
A political system where citizens participate in major
government decisions. The president or the ruling family
has controlled state powers in these countries. The real state
power is under the office of the prime minister. These are
found in modern countries like Britain, Sweden, Denmark,
and Japan.
Dictatorship

A type of political system where the ruling person has full control of the
state institutions and the entire society. They gain state powers through
rigged elections or by overthrowing the government. In these systems of
government, human rights and liberties are never respected and are almost
always violated. Most of the decisions of the state are made by the
president with the help of police or military officers. North Korea is an
example of a country that runs through a dictatorship.
Communism

A political ideology and type of government in which the state

owns the major resources in a society, including property, means
of production, education, agriculture and transportation. A
political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war
and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned
and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and
needs.
The Benefits of Communism are:
•People are equal.

•Every citizen can keep a job.

•There is an internally stable economic system.

•Strong social communities are established. Competition doesn't exist.

•Efficient distribution of resources.

of functions managing the state regulating public affairs decision
making and policy implementation exerting leadership which are
considered as essential to the role of government as a life sustainable
system.
