1.2.5 quiz: types of government apex

There are very different nomenclatures to denominate the different forms of government, from the theorists of Antiquity to the Contemporary Age; At present, three types of classifications are usually used:

The elective character or not of the head of state defines a classification, between republics (elective) and monarchies (not elective). The degree of freedom, pluralism and political participation defines another classification, between democratic, authoritarian and totalitarian systems, depending on whether they allow the exercise of discrepancy and political opposition to a greater or lesser degree or deny more or less radically the possibility of dissidence ( establishing a single-party regime, or different types of exceptional regimes, such as dictatorships or military juntas); At the same time, the electoral system through which the popular will expresses itself in participatory systems has had very different historical configurations (direct democracy or assembly, indirect or representative democracy, census or restricted suffrage, universal male suffrage or of both sexes, different determinations of the age of majority, racial segregation, inclusion or not of immigrants, and others), as well as very different ways of altering or distorting it (borgo rotido, gerrymandering, electoral fraud, pucherazo). The existing relationship between the head of the State, the government and the parliament defines another classification, between presidentialisms and parliamentarisms (with many degrees or mixed forms between one and the other).

The types of Government Apex's are:
~Limited Government.
~Oligarchy.
~Parliament.
~Republics.
