Grade 7
Define the different types of governments (i.e., democracy, autocracy, oligarchy, monarchy, and dictatorship).
Autocracy
Government by a single person having unlimited power; despotism (domination through threat of punishment and violence).
Oligarchy
A government in which a few people such as a dominant clan or clique have power.
Dictatorship
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.
Anarchy
Anarchy is a situation where there is no government. This can happen after a civil war in a country, when a government has been destroyed and rival groups are fighting to take its place. Anarchists are people who believe that government is a bad thing in that it stops people organizing their own lives.
Communist
In a communist country, the government owns property such as businesses and farms. It provides its people's healthcare, education and welfare.
Republic
A republic is a country that has no monarch. The head of the country is usually an elected president.
Totalitarian
This is a country with only one political party. People are forced to do what the government tells them and may also be prevented from leaving the country.
