Answer 1

Answer:

States vary based on who holds power, who elects the empowered, and how authority is maintained.

States come in a variety of forms that vary based on who holds power, how positions of leadership are obtained, and how authority is maintained. The United States is a democratic presidential republic: a democratic government headed by a powerful elected executive, the president. The United States originally won its independence from Britain, which was a monarchy, in which power was concentrated in an individual king. Other forms of government include oligarchy and dictatorship or totalitarianism. One way to classify these governments is by looking at how leaders gain power. Under this system, governments fall into general categories of authoritarianism, oligarchy, and democracy.

• Authoritarian Governments
• Oligarchic Governments
• Democratic Governments
• Monarchy
• Oligarchy
• Dictatorship and Totalitarianism
• Democracy
