Absolute Monarchy Monarch has unlimited power due to his or her position. Divine Right: thought to obtain the authority to rule from God.

Constitutional Monarchy Monarch shares power with other branches of government. The monarch is only the head of state rather than being the head of government.  Usually also a parliamentary democracy. Example: The United Kingdom

Dictatorship The leader has obtained absolute control of a country, usually through force. Often dictatorships become viewed as totalitarian because the governments have absolute power.  Social, political, economic, intellectual, cultural, and spiritual activities are controlled by the ruler of the state Example: North Korea

Communism Based on the teachings of Karl Marx, Marx wrote The Communist Manifesto with Friedrich Engels in 1848.  A government/economic type where people are in charge of making sure that everyone is equal. Typically dictatorships that reject democracy and instead adopt a policy known as socialism.  Under a socialist system, the central government controls the planning and producing of all goods in order to achieve an equal distribution of wealth and property among its citizens. Example: China, however, there has never been a true example of communism

Fascism Became popular in some countries following WWI. A form of totalitarian dictatorship where power was placed in hands of one person and individual freedoms were denied.  The rise of fascism was seen after World War I due to the hardships that people faced after the devastation of the war. People believed a strong government was the answer to their fears, and fascist regimes like the Nazi Party seemed like better alternatives to communism.

Oligarchy Government controlled by a select, small group of people. Often called the "aristocracy," this group is usually from an upper class or otherwise privileged background.  Exercises almost absolute power over the entire government, even though they are normally only representative of a small portion of the population.  Example: South Africa during the apartheid

Anarchy Anarchy is the anti-government system of government. No one is in charge. There are no rules or laws.
