all of the above

Answer 1

The correct answer is "All of the Above".

A Theocracy is a form of government in which God or the deity that is revered among the population is considered as the supreme civil ruler. Regarding the set of laws of this regime, it is up to the member of the clergy to interpret these laws and communicate them to the people.

This form of regime hands great power to the ecclesiastical figures. It also leads to people to care excessively for their reputation, as the figure of what is right or wrong is not clearly stated, but interpreted in the form of "holy" rules. This form of government will also lead to collective hysteria as religious fanatism is openly approved and any behavior which contradicts religious laws is severely punished.

to keep behavior in check or pay severe consequences
