Here are the definitions of each type of government:
- An oligarchy is a style of government in which only a few people have any power. Often, these are wealthy individuals who use their power and influence to further enhance their financial status.
- An aristocracy is another type of government in which power and influence are held by a minority of people. Unlike an oligarchy, however, aristocrats derive their power from their family lineage. They often have hereditary titles, for example, like duke or earl, and their families have held power for generations.
- A monarchy is a type of government in which there is only one ruler and that is a king or a queen (a monarch). Like an aristocrat, a monarch inherits his or her title. In an absolute monarchy, the monarch exercises total control over all aspects of the government. In contrast, in a constitutional monarchy, like in the United Kingdom, the monarch's powers are curtailed and moderated by the government.
- A democracy is a type of government in which power is held by the people. To exercise this power, many democracies use a system of voting in which the people choose a number of elected representatives to serve in government.
