POLITICAL SYSTEM

is a set of different institutions established


politically, to ensure the free and fair distribution
of resources within a given society.

Democrac
y
The type of government with which we are most familiar is
democracy, or a political system in which citizens govern
themselves either directly or indirectly. The term democracy
comes from Greek and means "rule of the people." In Lincoln's
stirring words from the Gettysburg Address, democracy is
"government of the people, by the people, for the people."
-
Oligarchy
The power in an oligarchy is held by a small, elite group. Unlike in a
monarchy, members of an oligarchy do not necessarily achieve their
statuses based on ties to noble ancestry.
Rather, they may ascend to positions of power because of military
might, economic power, or similar circumstances.

Aristocracy
in which power is held by land-owning elites.

Monarchy
Monarchy is a political system in which power
resides in a single family that rules from one generation to the next
generation. The power the family enjoys is traditional authority, and many
monarchs command respect because their subjects bestow this type of
authority on them.
Authoritarianism
refers to political systems in which an
individual or a group of individuals holds
power, restricts or pro-habits popular
participation in governance, and represses
dissent

Totalitarianism
refers to political systems that include all
the features of authoritarianism but are
even more repressive as they try to
regulate and control all aspects of citizens'
lives and fortunes
Communism
Some political systems are directly defined by their
economies, which is another way John Study could
think about this. Technically, communism is an
economic system, in which the government controls
the distribution of resources. However, for this to work,
you do need a very specific sort of political structure.

Dictatorship
Dictatorship is a type of political system where the
ruling person has full control of the state institutions
and the entire society.
Political System :The Continents of
the World

Each continent in the world has its own types of


political systems. A political system is the way a
country or region is governed. Below is a short
summary of the political systems in each continent:

Africa
•Many countries are republics with elected
presidents.
•Some are democracies, while others are ruled by
military leaders or long-term presidents.
-Cj
Asia
•Asia has many different political systems.
•Some countries, like Japan and India, are democracies.
•Others, like China and North Korea, are one-party states, where
only one political party rules.
•Some countries are monarchies, like Saudi Arabia.

Europe
•Most European countries are democracies.
•Many are parliamentary systems, where a prime minister is the
leader.
•Countries often work together through the European Union (EU).

takeovers in the past.
•Democracy is growing stronger in many areas.

democracies.

leaders.
•Some are connected to other countries for defense and
support.

it is used for peace and science only.

The world’s continents have different political


systems. Some are democracies, some are
monarchies, and others are one-party states. Most
countries today allow people to vote for their
leaders, but not all political systems are truly free
or equal.
