Aristocracy, Oligarchy, Democracy, And Monarchy
In this paper, I will be going into detail about the following form of government, Aristocracy, Oligarchy, Democracy, and Monarchy. Each form of government has many aspects to cover and a lot to learn about. After the summary of all four forms of government there will be a form in which I will learn more about. In this section I will go further in detail and explain more about that form. Below are the four forms of government.
Aristocracy was founded by Plato a Greek philosopher. It means rule of the few best or the ones who have moral superiority.

This was one of the most affective governments of all time and it worked out greatly for the people of Greece.
Monarchy is ruled by a family in power, known mostly as the royal family. This was practiced in most of the older kingdoms such as the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, and Saudi Arabia. This was affective in some countries if the people in the country liked the king and queen (Kostiner, 2010). This was mostly practiced in Athens and was a small part Greece for a short period of time. In Greece they did not really practice this and it was very shortly mentioned. Non-the less this was still an important part of government and will be remembered in the history
