SYSTEMS of GOVERNMENT
Before we begin let’s understand the following terms: Central Authority= central or national
government Regional Authority = Any political
divisions, such as states, provinces, counties, and cities.
How do government systems
distribute or divide power?

SYSTEMS Of GOVERNMENT
There are 3 ways government systems distribute or divide power:
• Unitary System
• Confederate System• Federal System

Unitary System
Power is held by one central authority.
Power is not shared between regional authorities such as states, counties, or provinces. Central Authority is more powerful than the Regional Authority.
Example the United Kingdom, France, and Cuba.

Federal System
Power is distributed or divided between one central authority and several regional authorities. States or provinces are given considerable self rule, usually through their own legislatures. Overall power is balanced between both authorities.
Examples: Canada, United States and Australia (most large countries tend to be federal).

Critical Thinking
1. Only 24 of the world's 196 countries have federal political systems. However, their citizens make up 40 percent of the world's population. Explain.

Confederate System A voluntary association or
co-operation of independent regional authorities (states/countries) with a common purpose. The Regional Authority is more powerful than the Central Authority.
Economic and political alliances between countries tend to be confederations.
2. Can you think of a modern day example of a confederation?

Can you think of a modern day example of a confederation?
Example: The European Union. The EU does not handle all the government business for the member countries. Each country still makes its own laws, has its own military, and elects its own leaders.

Distribution of Power in Government
Think of power distribution on a continuum from strong central control to weak central control.
Strong central government
Unitary ConfederationFederal
Weak central government

In 1777, new governing document allowed the thirteen original states in the newly formed United States, retain most powers while the federal government only dealt with issues of national defense and foreign affairs. The documents also called the Articles made the states and their legislatures supreme.

TYPES OF GOVERNMENT

TYPES Of GOVERNMENT
Who rules?
How do citizens participate in their government?
![Page 20: SYSTEMS and TYPES](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56813525550346895d9c8e09/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
TYPES Of GOVERNMENT
There are 3 basic types of government.
Autocracy
Oligarchy
Democracy
![Page 21: SYSTEMS and TYPES](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56813525550346895d9c8e09/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
AUTOCRACYPower in the hands of ONE.
• In an autocratic type of government, the leader holds ABSOLUTE POWER without the participation or sometimes even the consent of the people.
• Leaders maintain their position via inheritance or military power.
Absolute Monarchy
Dictatorship
ExamplesNorth Korea
CubaCzarist Russia
![Page 22: SYSTEMS and TYPES](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56813525550346895d9c8e09/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
OLIGARCHYPower in the hands of a FEW.
In an oligarchy, a small group exercises control.
Group may get its power from military strength, social class, wealth, religion, or a combination.
The citizen has very limited role in the government. There are no countries that are classified oligarchies today, however some countries have aspects of it, such as communist
countries. Example: China: Only members of a select political
parties controlled by the Chinese Communist Party can run for elections.
![Page 23: SYSTEMS and TYPES](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56813525550346895d9c8e09/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Autocracy and Oligarchy
People have very little say in both types of government, yet may claim they “rule for the people”. For example: May hold elections with only one candidate
or control the results in various ways. Even when these governments have a
legislature or national assembly, they often only approve decisions made by the leaders.
![Page 24: SYSTEMS and TYPES](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56813525550346895d9c8e09/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
DEMOCRACYPower in the hands of ALL.
Democracy means “rule by the people”.
Supreme power is vested in the people.
Citizens participate directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.
![Page 25: SYSTEMS and TYPES](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56813525550346895d9c8e09/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Democracies can beDirect or
Representative
DIRECT: People vote on all issues.
REPRESENTATIVE: People elect representatives and give them the power to vote on issues.
![Page 26: SYSTEMS and TYPES](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56813525550346895d9c8e09/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Representative Democracy
A representative democracy is AKA a republic.
Germany is a federal republic. The REBUBLIC part means that they elect people to office and these elected officials (members of Bundestag/Budestrat) make laws for the country. The FEDERAL part means that power is shared between the central and local governments.
![Page 27: SYSTEMS and TYPES](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56813525550346895d9c8e09/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Two Predominant Forms Of REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACIES
PRESIDENTIAL Voters elect the
members of the legislature as well as the leader (President).
The leader is elected separately.EXAMPLE: United States, Mexico, Brazil.
PARLIAMENTARY Voters elect the members of
the legislature (parliament) and the legislature (parliament) selects or elects the leader ( a prime minister, premier, or chancellor).
The leader is chosen from within the legislature (parliament). EXAMPLE: United Kingdom, Canada, Australia.

….and then there is
An aspect of government in which a monarch is guided by a constitution ( a constitution gives rights to the people).
The Monarch’s power is limited. They usually act as the head of the state and have to follow
the laws of the democratic government. Constitutional Monarchies are commonly found in countries
with Parliamentary Democracies.

Europe’s Most Famous Constitutional Monarchy
Europe’s most famous constitutional monarchy is Great Britain. The Royal Family is always in the news though not for governing. Their roles are largely ceremonial, representing the U.K.at occasions such as state dinners or charity events.

How Governments Determine Citizen Participation.
Each star on the continuum represents a type of government. Identify the type of government each star represents based on its placement on the continuum.
High citizen participation
Least Freedom
Low Citizen participation
More Freedom

This is a map of the world, highlighted on a scale from light blue to black, based on the score of each country according to The Economist's Democracy Index survey of 2010. The darker the color the more restrictive the citizen participation. The two lightest shades (example: Canada and the US), are considered full democracies.
Are all democracies the same?
