Military Rule

Military rule occurs when the military takes control of a country's government, often during times of crisis or instability. Instead of civilian leaders managing the nation, military authorities oversee political and administrative functions. This governance can be temporary or extended, and it usually involves the suspension of normal democratic processes, such as elections and legislative activities. Military rule is often justified as necessary to restore order, maintain security, or implement reforms, but it can also limit freedoms and civil liberties, raising concerns about authoritarianism and human rights.
