About this document
Overview of Government Types by smurfy5083 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
There are five main types of governments: democracy, oligarchy, monarchy, dictatorship, and theocracy. A democracy allows citizens to govern directly or elect representatives, like Canada and the US. An oligarchy is run by an elite group. A monarchy has a royal family in charge, while a constitutional monarchy makes the royal family symbolic. A dictatorship gives one ruler total political, social, and economic control without laws, like past totalitarian leaders Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin.
