TYPES OF GOVERNMENT
Quimson Ronabel F. *H-268* Prof. Adrian F. San Miguel
Government in the case of its broad associative definition, government normally consists of legislators, administrators, and arbitrators. Government is the means by which state policy is enforced, as well as the mechanism for determining the policy of the state. A form of government, or form of state governance, refers to the set of political systems and institutions that make up the organization of a specific government.
Government of any kind currently affects every human activity in many important ways. For this reason, political scientists generally argue that government should not be studied by itself; but should be studied along with anthropology, economics, history, philosophy, science, and sociology.
TYPES OF GOVERNMENT
Absolute monarchy
A form of government where the monarch rules unhindered, i.e., without any laws, constitution, or legally organized opposition.
Anarchy
Anarchy is lack of government, as there is no governing authority; in anarchy there is no government and each individual has absolute liberty. It is important to note, however, that the lack of a government to enforce laws does not automatically imply that there are no laws; anarcho-capitalism in particular posits a form of anarchy with a body of explicit laws.
Aristocracy
A form of government in which a select few rule based on inherited hereditary right. A form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the principal persons of a state, or in a privileged order; an oligarchy
Autocracy
A form of government in which the political power is held by a single, self-appointed ruler. Government by a single person having unlimited power; despotism (domination through threat of punishment and violence)
Authoritarian
A form of government in which state authority is imposed onto many aspects of citizens' lives.
