Systems Of Government Mr. Black US Global 9

The Four Basic Government Systems There are FOUR (4) basic government systems (some government systems also have “subsystems”) The four basic government systems are: Monarchies 1a. Absolute Monarchies 1b. Constitutional Monarchies Theocracies Dictatorships Democracies 4a. Parliamentary Democracies 4b. Presidential Democracies

Monarchy In a monarchy, the ruler inherits his or her power When they die, power is automatically passed to one of monarch’s children E.G., king, queen, emperor, empress 2 types: absolute and constitutional

Absolute Monarchy King/Queen has absolute rule over subjects Power is claimed by divine right Freedoms and rights come only with the consent of the ruler People have no voice in selecting ruler Weakness: capabilities may vary

Bhutan, Brunei, Saudi Arabia and Swaziland are just a few examples of modern absolute monarchies

Constitutional Monarchy Power of ruler is limited Subjects enjoy basic rights, have a voice in government Power is shared- between monarch and elected legislature

Monaco, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom are just a few examples of modern constitutional monarchies

Theocracy Religious leaders rule over society (religion is the government). Rulers chosen by councils of religious priests or clerics Leaders claim to act in the name of god- expect strict obedience from members of society Iran

Dictatorship Like monarchy, a single person or small group has supreme power Dictator gains power by force or is put in that position and then takes action to strengthen their power Not responsible to the people and not limited by them Cuba

China, Cuba, North Korea and Sudan are just a few examples of modern dictatorships

Democracy Government authority is based upon people’s consent Direct Democracy: citizens vote on each issue Representative Democracy: the “will” of the people is carried out by elected officials

Democracy Government functions under the rule of law & liberties are guaranteed Respect given for individual freedoms Majority rule followed with respect given for minority views 2 types: Parliamentary, Presidential

Parliamentary Democracy Voters elect legislature (parliament) Legislature chooses chief executive, the prime minister Prime Minister and Chief Ministers are members of Parliament They can be removed by a majority of parliament at any time Most of world’s democracies are under this system Great Britain

Canada, India, Turkey and the United Kingdom are just a few examples of parliamentary democracies

Presidential Democracy A separation of powers exists between branches of government Voters elect each separately Each branch is independent and checks the other’s powers United States

Brazil, France, Nigeria and the United States are just a few examples of presidential democracies

ATTENTION! You may have noticed that some nations have appeared in more than one category of the basic systems of government (or subsystems)… It is important to understand that NO NATION fits perfectly into a textbook definition of a specific government system; governments can have at least partial resemblance to a variety of government systems!

Divine Right Meaning, the will of god
