Answers
Answer:
Democracy (Greek: δημοκρατία, dēmokratiā, from dēmos 'people' and kratos 'rule') is a form of government in which the people have the authority to choose their governing legislation. Who people are and how authority is shared among them are core issues for democratic theory, development and constitution. Some cornerstones of these issues are freedom of assembly and speech, inclusiveness and equality, membership, consent, voting, right to life and minority rights. Authoritarianism is a form of government characterized by strong central power and limited political freedoms.[1] Political scientists have created many typologies describing variations of authoritarian forms of government.[1] Authoritarian regimes may be either autocratic or oligarchic in nature and may be based upon the rule of a party or the military.[2][3]
answer:__
Following are the forms of government:
Democratic and authoritarian
Parliamentary and presidential
Unitary and federal
Democratic and authoritarian government is classified on the basis of whether a government is answerable to its citizens or not. Democratic government is selected by the people and it is completely answerable to the people for the decisions it takes. The authoritarian government means absolute obedience of people to the government, and citizens are not allowed to raise any objections against government.
