Types of Government

For a few countries more than one definition applies.

A democratic republic is, strictly speaking, a country that is both
a republic and a democracy. (USA)
However, in recent practice, countries that have described themselves as
democratic republics have not always held free or fair elections.
(Democratic People`s Republic of Korea, Democratic Republic of
Congo,
Governments can be classified into several types. Some of the more
common types of governments are:

1.

Democracy

Democracy = is a form of government in which all citizens that

participate have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives.
Democracy is a form of government based upon four elements:
1) The citizens choose and replace the government through free and fair
elections;
2) There is active participation of the citizens in politics and civic life;
3) There is protection of the human rights of all citizens; and
4) There is rule of law, in which the laws and procedures apply equally
to all citizens.
Constitutional democracy - a form of government in which the
sovereign power of the people is spelled out in a governing
constitution.
Parliamentary democracy - a political system in which the legislature
(parliament) selects the government - a prime minister, premier, or
chancellor along with the cabinet ministers - according to party strength
as expressed in elections; by this system, the government acquires a
dual responsibility: to the people as well as to the parliament.
Democratic republic - a state in which the supreme power rests in the
body of citizens entitled to vote for officers and representatives
responsible to them.
