A monarchy is a form of government where one person heads the state, whether it is a king, queen, or emperor. It is a common form of government, especially in Europe. The supreme right to rule is invested in one person, and it is hereditary so it is passed down from generations on the terms of birthright.

The article I read was about Paul Bartow's belief on 4 founding principles of America. I found this article to be interesting and reasonable because the arguments were supported by reasons and examples.

A democracy is defined as a form of government in which the citizens rule. However, within this category, there are two different types of democracy; a republican and a direct. The question is, which form is best? In my opinion, a republican democracy is the best. However, it has problems of its own. Direct democracies and republican democracies have important similarities and differences.To provide a little background, the direct democracy originated in ancient Athens Greece. It is defined as…

A dictatorship, as described by google, is "a country, government, or the form of government in which absolutepower is exercised by a dictator". In other words, a dictatorship is a militaristic government set up in which one person has total control over everyone by setting laws and regulations.
