How the Government works
Democracy- Power rest with the people.
Representative Democracy
Form of democracy. We are most similar with this in the United States.
Chosen by the people to act as their representatives, speak for the will of the people.
Representatives are held accountable.
Representative democracy is a government by the popular consent.
Direct Democracy
The people participate in every aspect of government life (especially policymaking)
Works only in small locations where citizens can easily meet.
Direct democracy does not exist because the united states doesn't have anymore small communities.
Dictatorships- Government with no responsibility to their people.
Autocracy
A government in which a single person holds power.
Oligarcy
A government in which the power to rule is held by small, self-appointed elites.
Dictatorships are authoritarian, modern dictatorships, and totalitarian.
Complete power over nearly every aspect of human life.
Typically have more than 1 ruler/ group competing for control.
