Answers
Answer :
The words 'democrat,' 'aristocracy,' 'governor' and 'monocrat' contain a root that means “rule.”
Collins English Dictionary defines '-crat' as 'participant in or supporter of (a specified kind of) government or ruling body.'
Collins English Dictionary defines '-cracy' as 'indicating a type of government or rule.'
Collins English Dictionary defines 'govern' as 'To govern a place such as a country, or its people, means to be officially in charge of the place, and to have responsibility for making laws, managing the economy, and controlling public services.'
Monocrat contains the root of the word "rule". Monocrat is a synonym used for monarchy where only one person is responsible for ruling its subjects.
The monarchy is a form of government that we have seen has existed since the dawn of men after they started becoming more civilised.
A country's identity depends on the monarch. The main form of government until the 19th century was monarchy where the monarch was the absolute power.
In some instances he was considered to be the messenger of God.
