A form of government where the citizens hold the power.
I chose this picture because it is someone speaking into a microphone about something they believe in and that’s what you can do in a democracy because it listens to everyone’s thoughts

MONARCHY
A system of government where one person is born into the role
When I think monarchy I think of like a queen or king ruling because it’s just “one person” and so I chose that picture to represent it

DICTATORSHIP
one person controls the decision making through the military and police.
I think this is kinda showing that the skull is like the dictator and the person is the people that the dictator is “controlling”

THEOCRACY
A government that is headed by religious leaders.
It’s saying that they are having their religion make a lot of the decisions for them. Like god choosing if they vote
SINGLE PARTY STATE
BY LAW ONLY ONE POLITICAL PARTY IS ALLOWED TO RULE.
This picture is showing just one political party making the laws and the other side was like “surrendering” or just kind of not putting in their view
UNITARY
all power is controlled by one central government.
This picture I think is saying that there is one central authority/government and all the other ones listen to it
FEDERAL
power is shared between one central and local governments.
I think this picture is sorta saying that the smaller government can make its own rules but still has to follow the bigger governments laws also
CONFIDENTIAL
power is mainly controlled by local governments.
I chose this because it shows that the smaller government relies a lot more on community because it is smaller and needs to listen closer to the amount of people it’s effecting
MARKET ECONOMY
Relies on markets to control the price of goods and services.
I chose this picture because it shows parts of a market economy
COMMAND
controls the prices of goods and services.
I chose this picture because it has examples and because it shows someone pressing a button like “controlling” something
MIXED
controls some of the prices of goods and services.
I chose this picture because it shows the characteristics of a mixed economy and give examples
