Key Points
Government is the means by which state policy is enforced, as well as the
mechanism for determining the policy of the state. States are served by a
continuous succession of different governments.
Governments with Aristarchy attributes are traditionally ruled by the “best”
people. Examples include aristocracy, technocracy and meritocracy.
Governments with autocratic attributes are ruled by one person who has all
the power over the people in a country. Examples include authoritarian,
totalitarian and fascist governments.
Governments with democratic attributes are most common in the Western
world and in some countries of the east. In democracies, all of the people in
a country can vote during elections for representatives or political parties
that they prefer.
Governments with monarchic attributes are ruled by a king or a queen who
inherits their position from their family, which is often called the royal family.
Governments with oligarchic attributes are ruled by a small group of
powerful and/or influential people. These people may spread power
equally or not equally.
Plutocracy defines a society or a system ruled and dominated by the small
minority of the wealthiest citizens. Unlike systems such as democracy,
capitalism, socialism or anarchism, plutocracy is not rooted in an
established political philosophy and has no formal advocates.
