Autocracy: One Person Only one person has all the power in making decisions for the people. Government Forms: 1. Dictatorship Examples: Germany’s Hitler, U.S.S.R.’s Stalin 2. Absolute Monarchy – one king in power with complete control Examples: France’s King Louis XVI, Spain’s King Ferdinand

Oligarchy: A Small Group Only a few people in a small group of royalty, wealth, family, or military influence make political decisions for the country’s people. Government Forms: Communism – a small group controls all the economic resources and government Examples: former Soviet Union, Cuba, China

Democracy: The Citizens The citizens have a say in their government by voting in elections. Most democracies today are republics, where the people elect leaders to represent them in the government. Most countries in the world are democracies.

Presidential Democracy a government in which the executive, legislative, and judicial branches are separate The citizens vote for the leader of the country, the president, who serves in the executive branch. Example: U.S.A.

Parliamentary Democracy a government where voters elect representatives to a lawmaking body called parliament Parliament members then select the leader, usually called the prime minister.
