There are three main types of government are Democracy, Oligarchy, and Autocracy. An autocracy is a government ruled by only one person. A democracy is a type of government that is ruled by the people. Lastly a Oligarchy is a type of government that is ruled by a group of people.

A monarchy is not the most fair type of government, so because of this it is not commonly used in today's society. All of the power goes to one person, but often times the people have no say in who it will be because monarchies are often hereditary.

Oligarchy: what is it?
