1. A system of government in which one person reigns supreme, usually a king or
queen, is called
(a) autocracy
(c) democracy
(b) monarchy
(d) republic

Your answer is (B) Monarchy

A monarchy is a form of government in which a person, the king or queen, is the leader of state for life or until abdication. The king and queen produce heirs to rule over the next generation when they die. Back then,

whatever the king/queen says is the law, and they have the freedom to change laws placed by previous rulers.

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:

the culture of the americas was influenced by the language, food, and music of africa.
