Types Of Government
- Monarchy:
Monarchy is a type of government where a single person, often called a king or queen, rules the country. They usually inherit their position from their family. In a monarchy, the ruler has a lot of power, and people in the country follow their rules. - Oligarchy:
Oligarchy is when a small group of people, often from the same social or economic class, have the power to make decisions for the whole country. They work together to control the government and make important choices. - Constitutional Government:
Constitutional government is a type of government where there is a set of rules called a constitution that everyone, including the leaders, must follow. The constitution explains how the government should work and protects the rights of the people.
