<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> Reading and Discussion

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> There are several different types of government, but before examining them, it is

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> important to understand what is meant by government.

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> A government is a ruling power in a political society. It has the authority to make laws,

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> resolve disputes, and issue administrative decisions. In other words, a government is

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> responsible for providing order and stability to a nation, state, or country. Some of the

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> most common types of government are:

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;">  democracy

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;">  monarchy

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;">  totalitarian

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;">  theocracy

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;">  aristocracy

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;">  dictatorship

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> Democracy means “rule by the people.” In this type of government, power is held by

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> the people, using a free electoral system. The United States of America is a democracy.

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> The people rule by electing others to represent them in government.

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> A monarchy is a system by which a nation is ruled by a king or queen. Power is passed

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> down through the ruling family. The ruling family may be referred to as the Royal

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> Family, and the next king or queen is usually a child of the current king or queen.

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> Jordan is an example of a country that operates as a monarchy.

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> In a totalitarian government, the nation is ruled by one political party. People are

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> typically forced to do what the government tells them to do.

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> Theocracy is a form of government controlled by people who base the nation's laws on

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> religious ideas. Sometimes, the rulers are said to act as agents for a particular deity.

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> An aristocracy is ruled by the aristocrats who are usually educated, wealthy people.

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> Many monarchies have been ruled by aristocrats. While a monarchy is ruled by the king

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> or queen, an aristocracy can be ruled by any collection of aristocrats.

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> A dictatorship is a system under which a single, unelected leader uses force or

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> coercion to keep control. In a military dictatorship, the army is in control of the nation.

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> Typically, little attention is paid to individuals, personal freedoms, or public opinion.

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> When discussing types of governments, another important term to consider is anarchy.

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> Anarchy is a chaotic situation where there is no government. This can happen after a

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> revolution or a civil war, usually because the previous government failed, and rival

<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 250%;"> groups are trying to replace it.
