26. What are Democracy, Autocracy, & Oligarchy? Government Systems 101
Manage episode 362376214 series 3320524
This is a basic foundational view of the government systems, designed for non-experts who need a refresh. *Correction: The United States is more correctly defined as a Constitutional Republic, as the Constitution does serve as the supreme law of the land. While it does have democratic processes, the Constitution plays a more powerful role in the United States than I explained in this episode.
Vocab words explained in this episode:
- Anarchy
- Democracy: Direct Democracy, Republic, Constitutional Monarchy
- Autocracy: Absolute Monarchy, Dictatorship, Totalitarian Dictatorship
- Oligarchy
- Theocracy
