Section 2-Forms Government

Governments can be classified by three different standards: Forms of Government Governments can be classified by three different standards: Who can participate in the governing process. The geographic distribution of the governmental power within the state. The relationship between the legislative (lawmaking) and the executive (law-executing) branches of government.

Forms of Government Democracy In a democracy, supreme political authority rests with the people. A direct democracy exists where the will of the people is translated into law directly by the people themselves. In an indirect democracy, a small group of persons, chosen by the people to act as their representatives, expresses the popular will. Dictatorship A dictatorship exists where those who rule cannot be held responsible to the will of the people. An autocracy is a government in which a single person holds unlimited political power. An oligarchy is a government in which the power to rule is held by a small, usually self-appointed elite.

Forms of Government Unitary Government A unitary government has all powers held by a single, central agency. Confederate Government A confederation is an alliance of independent states. Federal Government A federal government is one in which the powers of government are divided between a central government and several local governments. An authority superior to both the central and local governments makes this division of power on a geographic basis.

Forms of Government Presidential Government- Features an elected president who serves as the “head of state” (the ceremonial “face” a state presents to the world ) as well as its “Chief Executive” (head of the executive branch of government), with a separate and co-equal elected legislature (which actually makes the laws). In Parliamentary Government, the head of state is a king or queen, or someone called a president (but nothing like our kind). They are ceremonial or “figurehead” leaders. The head of government is the prime minister (sometimes called a premier). The prime minister and his/her cabinet is the executive branch, and these executives also serve as members of parliament, which is the legislative branch.
