Governance & Civics
Define the different types of governments (i.e., democracy, autocracy, oligarchy, monarchy, and dictatorship).
![Page 3: Types of Government - Higher Level](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062514/5588eb1ed8b42a1d698b46af/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Democracy
In a democracy, the government is elected by the people. Everyone who is eligible to vote has a chance to have their say over who runs the country. It is distinct from governments controlled by a particular social class or group (aristocracy; oligarchy) or by a single person (despotism; dictatorship; monarchy).
A democracy is determined either directly or through elected representatives.
