Representative Democracy/Republic
Monarchy

Dictatorship
Step-by-step explanation:
Democracy - A type of government where government authority is based on people’s consent
Direct Democracy: When the people vote on ALL issues directly.
Representative Democracy: People elect / vote for representatives to make government decisions for them.
Not ALL decisions are made by the representatives.
Monarchy - Many issues are voted on by the people. A form of government where the ruler inherits power to control the government (hereditary rule) and he decides what decisions are to be made.
Constitutional Monarchy: A government w/ a monarch as head of state and a parliament or other legislature that makes the laws. (modern)
Absolute Monarchy: the monarch exercises ultimate governing authority as head of state and head of government; his or her powers are NOT LIMITED by a constitution or by the law. (traditional)
Dictatorship - A system of government in which a single person or small group of people has the power and tells everyone else what to do.
NOT power inherited and usually gained by seizing power violently by force.
