Types of Government
  • Every country in the world has their own type of
    government.
  • Each countrys government is unique and varies
    widely across the globe.
  • Each countrys government has been shaped by
    traditional beliefs of its people and by their
    history.

7
Types of Government
  • Governments fall into two main different
    categories
  • Nondemocratic governments
  • Democratic governments

8
Nondemocratic Governments
  • A monarchy is a type of government where a king
    or a queen, called a monarch, reigns over a
    kingdom. Many times monarchies can be
    non-democratic.
  • (Morocco, Sweden)

9
Nondemocratic Governments
  • An autocracy is a type of government with
    complete and absolute power.
  • There are different kinds of autocracies.

10
Types of Autocracies
  • An absolute monarchy is where a person assumes
    complete power by being born into the family of
    rulers
  • A dictatorship is usually where a military leader
    takes power by force. (can get power other ways)
  • Oligarchy is a type of dictatorship that is run
    by a small group of people

11
Nondemocratic Governments
  • A theocracy is a type of government controlled by
    one or more religious leaders who rule on behalf
    of God or the gods worshipped in their country.
  • Vatican City

12
Lack of Government
  • Anarchy is the absence of any type of government.

13
Systems
  • Socialism is an economic system where a country
    has power over all goods that are produced and
    provides all for their people.(Denmark, Canada)
  • Communism is a form of government where the
    ruling party owns the means of production and
    private ownership is restricted. Usually a
    dictator rules in Communism (China)

14
Democratic Governments
  • In a democracy, the people of a nation either
    rule directly or elect officials who act their
    behalf.
  • United States, Greece, Brazil

15
Democratic Governments
  • The word democracy comes from the ancient
    Greek, meaning rule of the people.
  • There are two forms of democracy.

16
Direct Democracy
  • Direct democracy exists when ALL of the voters in
    a community meet in one place to decide laws and
    government actions ALL of the time.
  • Why is this not practical in most places today?

17
Representative Democracy
  • Representative democracy exists when the people
    elect representatives to carry on the work of
    govt for them.
  • When the people give consent, or permission, to
    be ruled by elected officials this is a system of
    government called a republic. (Pledge of
    Allegiance)

18
