G5 - Assignment in Civics & Culture

Types of Government
Absolute Monarchy - a form of government where the monarch rules unhindered, i.e., without
any laws, constitution or legally organized opposition.
Anarchy - a condition of lawlessness or political disorder brought about by the absence of
governmental authority.
Communist - a system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a
single -- often authoritarian -- party holds power; state controls are imposed with the elimination
of private ownership of property or capital while claiming to make progress toward a higher social
order in which all goods are equally shared by the people (i.e., a classless society).
Constitutional - a government by or operating under an authoritative document (constitution)
that sets forth the system of fundamental laws and principles that determines the nature,
functions and limits of that government.
Democracy - a form of government in which the supreme power is retained by the people, but
which is usually exercised indirectly through a system of representation and delegated authority
periodically renewed.
Dictatorship - a form of government in which a ruler or small clique wield absolute power (not
restricted by a constitution or laws).
Monarchy - a government in which the supreme power is lodged in the hands of a monarch who
reigns over a state or territory, usually for life and by hereditary right; the monarch may be either
a sole absolute ruler or a sovereign - such as a king, queen or prince - with constitutionally limited
authority.
Oligarchy - a government in which control is exercised by a small group of individuals whose
authority generally is based on wealth or power.
Republic - a representative democracy in which the people's elected deputies (representatives),
not the people themselves, vote on legislation.
