Forms of Government - Fill in the Blanks

"Who's Making the Rules?"

I know you guys in America have your democracy, and that's awesome, but in my country, we've been through every form of government. Let me tell you about it.

You might not know who is making the rules, But there is some form of government that's governing you. And when people get disillusioned, That's when we see a revolution.

In my land, you need to ask who's running it, We've lived through every single form of government. It started out, we didn't have any _____________________, People did whatever they wanted just because. That's __________________, no government at all, People robbed and killed in the free-for-all. No police, just gangs and bandits, Until some families joined up and demanded, A __________________ to rule over the land, And when the king died, his kids ruled after him, Which means that we lived in a _____________________, Where crowns and thrones move through the family. Until somebody flat out got sick of it, Led an armed revolution just to go against. Overthrew the king and kidnapped his kids, Overnight we lived in a ____________________________. One single person calling all of the shots, Power-tripping in his palaces or one of his yachts. So much _________________________ from the state-controlled media, And harsh punishments if we beefed with the leader, yep.


But the dictator died and the ____________________ started running it, A few leaders controlling the whole government, That's an _________________________, and the heads of military, Ruled by __________________________ which was really pretty scary. With war on their mind we lived through violent times, And the laws were designed to help the more refined. Till the ____________________________ made it a crime to live this way, Religion should be the law for how we live each day. With laws built by religious leaders now in charge.

It was a _____________________, laws came from ___________ — Or one religion's version. We still couldn't vote, Oppressive rule still shaped the country no joke, It was OK if you agreed, but anyone who didn't was probably getting beat. We wanted a voice, and we wanted to be free, We organized as a ______________________ democracy, Where everyone gets to vote on all the laws, Everyone has a voice, cuz we're all in charge. Things got better and you know how it showed? The population began to explode. With so many people to be spoken for, They had to better organize just to ensure, That we all were represented and this just means, That we became a __________________________ democracy. With a lean new team built around a ________________________________, And elected officials who upheld and used it. It's been long a story, and it never ends, Cuz another revolution might come again.

There are 7 types of government:

Democracy

Dictatorship

Monarchy

Theocracy

Totalitarian

Republics

Anarchy

DEMOCRACY

Modern governments are complex and are shaped by historical and political events like wars and

colonialism. A democracy is governed of the people, by the people and for the people. Here citizens

of the country can run for public office. This means the boys in the street get to decide who is in

charge of what equipment is in the pile. Of course each boy will nominate the person who best

represents his interests.

Democratic elections could be city-wide for municipal governance, state-wide for state governance or

nation-wide for central governance. When the population goes to vote, they vote for a candidate in

their area. When the candidate wins, the political party he belongs to also wins. The party with

maximum votes form the government.

What happens here?

People enjoy the freedom.

DICTATORSHIP

In contrast a dictatorship where a single individual has gained power through force and everyone has

to follow his policies. He’s the big bully. The boys have little to no voice in such a system. Oftentimes

the advisors who control the equipment kit are his close friends. Examples of dictators are Adolf Hitler

in Germany and Fidel Castro of Cuba.

Sometimes you have what is known as a ‘benevolent dictatorship’. This is when the dictator maintains

his position as the head of the country for the sake of the country instead of self interest. Most

dictatorships like to portray themselves in the international community as benevolent but it is not

always so.

What happens here?

Many people are unhappy in this system.

MONARCHY

A monarchy is another form of government where there is one head of state. In this system a king or

queen rules the country for the period of their lives. The crown is inherited, usually by the first born of

the family.

In earlier days, monarchs used to have absolute powers and owned all the public land. Pharoahs for

example, claimed to be representatives of the Gods on earth. But nowadays, even democracies like

Great Britain, Sweden, and Spain have kings who are nominal heads of state. Still it is their signature

that turns a bill into a law.

What happens here?

Things work well if the king is a good sportsman and cares about street cricket by choosing the right

boys to be prefect of the equipment kit.

THEOCRACY

In countries where any religious institution holds power over the king is called a theocracy. Several

Islamic nations fall into this category.

What happens here?

Its like saying everyone must eat cucumber sandwiches for lunch every day.

Website #3

Democracy In a democracy, the government is elected by the people.

Everyone who is eligible to vote has a chance to have their say over who runs the country.

Dictatorship This is a country ruled by a single leader.

The leader has not been elected and may use force to keep control.

In a military dictatorship, the army is in control.

Monarchy A monarchy has a king or queen.

In some traditional monarchies, the monarch has absolute power.

But a constitutional monarchy, like the UK, also has a democratic government that limits the monarch's control.

Website #4 – CIA Factbook

FIELD LISTING :: GOVERNMENT TYPE

This entry gives the basic form of government. Definit ions of the major governmental terms are as fol lows. (Note that

for some countries more than one definit ion applies.):

Absolute monarchy - a form of government where the monarch rules unhindered, i .e., without any laws,

constitut ion, or legally organized opposit ion.

Constitutional monarchy - a system of government in which a monarch is guided by a constitut ion whereby

his/her r ights, duties, and responsibi l i t ies are spelled out in written law or by custom.

Democracy - a form of government in which the supreme power is retained by the people, but which is usually

exercised indirectly through a system of representation and delegated authority periodical ly renewed.

Dictatorship - a form of government in which a ruler or small cl ique wield absolute power (not restr icted by a

constitut ion or laws).

Ecclesiastical - a government administrated by a church.

Monarchy - a government in which the supreme power is lodged in the hands of a monarch who reigns over a state

or terr i tory, usually for l i fe and by hereditary r ight; the monarch may be either a sole absolute ruler or a sovereign -

such as a king, queen, or prince - with constitut ionally l imited authority.

Theocracy - a form of government in which a Deity is recognized as the supreme civi l ruler, but the Deity's laws are

interpreted by ecclesiastical authorit ies (bishops, mul lahs , etc.); a government subject to rel igious authority. **Many

Islamic Republics are in fact, a theocracy .
