Question

Answer the following question with at least three complete sentences. Be sure to use specific examples from the lessons in your answer.

Describe how a government may be both a theocracy and a democracy. Be sure to include limits to governmental authority and civil liberties.

Answer 1

A theocracy can exist within other forms of government. While the religious rule may not form the official government, there are countries that make this combination work. Therefore, the two forms of government can coexist with modification, but a true democracy could not be a theocracy.
