Direct Democracy Who Rules? All citizens No representatives in government: The citizens vote on everything! All citizens can create public policy if they want to Examples: ancient Athens & Greece (they held assemblies where citizens voted to pass law)

Representative Democracy Who Rules? Elected representatives People elect representatives who vote on laws for the citizens Representatives answer to the people through regular elections Representatives held accountable by a constitution

Autocracy A form of government in which political power is controlled by one individual such as a monarch, dictator, emperor, etc. We’re going to talk about two kinds of autocracy… Monarchs! Dictators!

Monarchy Rule by kings, queens, princes, and princesses… sometimes by other names, but always MONARCHS! Leaders usually gain their power because their parents were rulers too. (aka Divine Right)

Monarchy Absolute Monarchy: monarch has complete control over his/her people Example: Louis XIV Constitutional Monarchy: monarch acts as Head of State; ability to pass laws resides with elected Parliament Examples: Japan, England

Dictatorship In a dictatorship, power is not inherited, but is acquired by force (military or political) Dictators have absolute control over the lives of their citizens and usually people are not allowed to voice their negative opinions Authoritarian: Totalitarian Example: North Korea

Dictatorship Authoritarian: one person or small groups that is not constitutionally accountable to the people and individual freedom is completely subordinate to the state Example: Spain under Franco Totalitarian: state holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life wherever possible Example: Mussolini; North Korea

Oligarchy “Rule by few” Power can be based on several things: Military strength = Military Junta Family power = Aristocracy Religious control = Theocratic Oligarchy Oligarchies can often come from or lead to other forms of government (like autocracies)

Theocracy “Theo” means “god” in Greek… so if a government is THEO-cratic that means it is ruled by… That’s right! A god or higher power! Leaders (autocratic or oligarchic) are usually religious leaders and society uses religious law to settle its disputes Example: The Islamic Republic of Iran is a modern theocracy that uses the holy Islamic book, The Qur’an, as its guide.
