Three Models of Government
There are three common models of government: 1. Democracy, where citizens have the power to choose their leaders through free elections, ensuring government accountability and representation. 2. Monarchy, where a single ruler, such as a king or queen, holds power, often inherited through families, with varying degrees of authority. 3. Authoritarianism, where a single leader or a small group holds significant control, often without popular consent, limiting political freedoms and opposition. Each model reflects different ways societies organize authority and decision-making.
