In unlimited governments, control is placed solely with the ruler and his/her appointees, and there are NO limits placed on his/her authority. Argentina’s Dirty War (1976-1983) and Brazil’s military dictatorship (1964-85) are two examples of unlimited government in South America’s past. Brazil, Argentina, and Peru are currently democratic republics and have limited governments.
