Tyranny- A tyranny is a cruel, harsh, and unfair government in which a person or small group
of people have power over everyone else. Tyranny occurs when absolute power is granted to a
ruler. In a tyrannical government, the ruler becomes corrupt and uses his power to further his
own interests instead of working for the common good.

The rule of law is the principle that no one is exempt from the law, even those who are in a
position of power. The rule of law can serve as a safeguard against tyranny, because just laws
ensure that rulers do not become corrupt.

5. Oligarchy- are governments in which a collection of individuals rules over a nation. A specific
set of qualities, such as wealth, heredity, and race, are used to give a small group of people
power. Oligarchies often have authoritative rulers and an absence of democratic practices or
individual rights.

The government that ruled South Africa from 1948 to 1991 was a racially constructed oligarchy.
The minority white population exercised dominance and imposed segregation over the nation's
majority Black population, controlling policy, public administration, and law enforcement

6. Mobocracy- A political system in which a mob is the source of control; government by the
masses. Webster Dictionary defines mobocracy as a condition in which the lower classes of a
nation control public affairs without respect to law, precedents, or vested rights.

So, mobocracy (literally “rule by the mob”) is a layman’s version of the term ochlocracy, where
the will of the majority rules, and disputes are often settled by brute force or the sheer weight of
people. Another word is majoritarianism, for obvious reasons. The term “mobocracy” has been
in use since the 18th century, often used as a pejorative description of democracy. It is
sometimes used to describe anarchism, but it’s debatable whether mobocracy is a form of
anarchy as one group is seen to legitimately rule over others by whim.
7. Constitutional Monarchy-is a form of government in which a monarch—typically a king or
queen—acts as the head of state within the parameters of a written or unwritten constitution. In
a constitutional monarchy, political power is shared between the monarch and a constitutionally
organized government such as a parliament. Constitutional monarchies are the opposite of
absolute monarchies, in which the monarch holds all power over the government and the
people. Along with the United Kingdom, a few examples of modern constitutional monarchies
include Canada, Sweden, and Japan.

8. Pure democracy- sometimes called "direct democracy," is a form of democracy in which all
laws and policies imposed by governments are determined by the people themselves, rather
than by representatives who are elected by the people. Examples include Athens and
Switzerland.

9 Republic-is a form of government where the citizens have the supreme power, and they
exercise that power by voting and electing representatives to make decisions and govern.
Republics come in different forms of government, but a common one is a democracy.
