  1. 1.) I think that the theocratic government is very interesting in that priests and members of the clergy have the power - God is recognized as the supreme power over this kind of government.
    2.) While typical in early civilizations, theocracy still exists in places like Iran, Saudi Arabia, and, most commonly affiliated, the Vatican. Ex: The Pope.

  2. 1) To me one of the most interesting forms of government is absolute monarchy. In absolute monarchies, the ruler gains power through inheritance, and the monarch makes all major restrictions and do not have any laws restraining them.
    2) France accepted an absolute monarchy, to be sure they had a ruler at all times and also to have a more efficient government.

  3. 1. An absolute monarchy is interesting because with the monarch you see how much power affects a human, especially absolute power. The monarch can set his or her laws but at the same rate they do not have to follow them.
    2. The French had an absolute monarchy as their form of government and I believe for the most part it worked out decently.

  4. 1.The most interesting for of goverment in my opinion is ARISTOCRACY because its basically rulled by how the social status is and also the wealth of the people.Ruled by the most fit or best People.
    2.Switzerland and Thailand have a aristocracy its usually in europe , i chosed it because it's something different and unique nevver really seen or heard of.

  5. 1. a Totalitarian form of government is where the state is in complete and absolute authority over society and seeks to control both public and private aspects of everyone's lives. It probably only interests me because im in a country where that is not the case whatsoever.
    2. in early 1920's by Nazi party and Italian fascists used this.

  6. 1) The most interesting form of government would be anarchy because, well there is no government. People rebel and they do what without having anybody say anything.

    2) A modern day example of an anarchy government would be Somalia which has no law or order.

  7. 1. A theocratic government, Led by God or a divinely guided person, is the government that most captures my interests.

  8. 1-The most interesting form of government to me is Anarchy is when there is not much government authority over a state/country.
    2-Somalia had been without a federal government for about a decade, which led to a civil war and U.S and U.N interventions.

  9. 1. A dictatorship is only interesting because it is ruled by one person and he is able to make the people believe him
    2.Hitler in Germany would be an example.

    1. A dictatorship is the most interesting to me because this one, or shall I few people, have full control (no restrictions) over anything and everyone.
    2. North Korea is an example of this with it's supreme leader being Kim Jun Un

  12. 1.A dictatorship is most interesting cause they get away with anything whilst reigning their so called "throne".

    1. I Think The Totalitarian Dictatorship is very interesting. In a way that it seeks to control your beliefs and attitudes. This dictatorship has a set of rules that their people are expected to achieve. If the leader appears to be wrong, their authority would be taken away from them.

    2. An example of this government would be the Nazi Germany or the former USSR.

  14. 1) Absolute monarchy all the way (:
    This form of government is a inherited throne and free reign to do what ever which is cool making one seem like a lord. Putting them on a spot light for their people. And religion played a big part too.

    2) im sure this was very common in the eastern world back in the day. Like every other town had a king so cool.

    Which of the forms of government do you think is the most interesting?

    1. The most interesting form of government to me is a dictatorship because I wonder how one person can have such a powerful impact on people and how one person can hold so much power over such a huge amount of people.

    2. One example of a form of dictatorship would be the current Cuban government.

  16. 1. In my opinion the most interesting form of government would be theocracy. A government strictly revolved around a religion.
    2. I'm not sure if this quite fits but an example of this could right now could be Isis revolving their actions for their islamic culture, religion, and way of life.

    2. Somalia.

  18. 1. Although a bit controversial, a secular government in which the government is not concerned about religion or religious matters truly appeals to me. Such government opposes laws based on religious scriptures restricting abortion and government discrimination on homosexuals.

    2. Places like Sweden and Denmark have become icons in secularist values, where only 18% of the population think religion is important. With less hate and discrimination why wouldn't this idea/form of government be appropriate?

  19. 1. The most interesting form of government, in my opinion is Oligarchy - theocracy, where it is ruled by few religious leaders. (divinely guided)

    2. Mostly practiced in southwest Asia.

  20. 1. Technocracy is a government ran by scientists and engineers. Placing the most knowledgeable professionals in charge of their specialized area.
    2. Never used in the states yet (probably becasue many people would abuse it) but North America is pushing to make a non-market economy and become the most energy and production efficent place in the world.

    1. To me the most Interesting is absolute Monarchy because it puts the power in the hands of one person, making it tyrannical and unfair, when the person making the laws can have exceptions for themselves.

    2. A past example of absolute monarchy would be Louis XIV of France.

    1) I think an autocracy, more specifically a monarchy is the most interesting form of government because, and probably because I did not grow up under monarchical rule, I've never understood what gives a dynastic house the right to act as ruler of a whole country.
    2) Obvious examples of autocratic governments include Spain, Denmark and Tonga but the most fascinating example in my opinion was that of Tudor England post reformation, where the monarch acted as both head of state and head of the church.

  24. 1. The type of government that I find the most interesting would have to be a combination of theocracy and absolute monarchy, where one person has total control and rules under the belief that their right to be King derives from the will of the God(s).
    2. An example of a combination of theocracy and absolute monarchy would be Ancient Egypt. Ancient Egypt was ruled by pharaohs who genuinely believed themselves to be Gods. (What’s fascinating is the way the pharaohs were carefully prepared for the Afterlife once they’d passed. Pharaohs were mummified and their tombs were filled with riches and treasures.)

    1. The most interesting format of government to me is totalitarianism, I fell like it's quiet up seen in history that it not only took one person to want to rule the world but did it in a manner of violence and aggression. Most of these types of rulers were offered and almost attempted to work with to solve problems but they just didn't want the hand they wanted the full arm , if it wasn't what they got they relied on violence was to solve these problems they had.
    2. My example for this form of government is Adolf hitler, he was history's biggest and we'll know totalitarian, it became so bad that he started murdering many people just because of religion or race. And tried to spread out the ideas of how the world should be throughout Europe and when nothing went his way it ended up in war.

  26. 1.In my opinion the most interesting form of government would have to be anarchy because they lack government authority over the country.

    1. The most interesting form of government is totalitarian dictatorship, because it's all about absolute controlling. They think they are ahead of everyone and no one can stop them.
    2. Like for an example, Pol Pot ''presided over a totalitarian dictatorship.'' He dominated the political, socials, and economics in Cambodia

  28. 1. To me the most convincing is absolute Monarchy because it puts the power in the hands of that one person, making it repressive and unfair, when the person making the laws can have intntions for themselves.

    Which of the forms of government do you think is the most interesting?
    1. A form of government that is most interesting, in my eyes is, anarchy, which is conducted in no way and there is a lack of government.

    2. In some way, it was used in the Free Territory of the Ukraine for a short amount of time, where they attempted to form a stateless anarchist. It consisted of seven million people, was run by Makhno, and was exceptionally successful until the Bolsheviks took over.

  30. 1) Monarchies are my favorite form of goverment. Why? They have kings and queens & princes and princesses. The monarch usually takes his throne through "bigger army diplomacy" and either has unchecked power, or limited power.

    2) Great Britain is a constitutional monarchy. The queen derives to right to rule through the crown, but has her power limited by parliament.

  31. 1. I personally think dictatorships are the most interesting. A dictator comes in and takes absolute control of the area he is going to rule and doesn't allow others to attempt to rule as if he is a monarch he makes all the decisions.
    2. An example would be Saddam Hussein who ruled in Iraq until he was executed.

    ReplyDelete
  32. 1. An interesting form of would be a totalitarian government due to the fact that it is just one party controlling the state and that one party seems to have all the answers towards everything, which seems highly unlikely.

    2. A great example of this form of government would be North Korea in that even though it is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and elections are held, its very strange in that it is the same leader till death, no to mention that everything there is made to conform to the ideologies that the Kim family has.

    1. The most interesting form of government is stratocracy (military government). A system of government in which there is no distinction between the military and civil power.
    2. Voluntary military service, or who have been honorably discharged, have the right to elect and/or govern.

    1) The form of government i find most interesting is Anarchy because there is no form of government , and it is a society without classes and force .

    1. Theocratic forms of government is most interesting to me because they are ruled by what their religion thinks they should do, rather than separating church and state.
    1. Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries are examples of a theocratic government.

  41. A form of government is a group or indivdual who runs the country, state, city, etc. They also serve as an icon for the place they run.
    An interesting form of government is a dictatorship, how does a country of thousands and possibly millions allow for one person to make decisions for them. In the past, countries have been scared of their dicatator. My question is, why dont the people speak up and overrule him and decide whats better with the people in mind?

    1.The most interesting form of government in my perspective is anarchy, a society without government. Due to the absence of government, wild behavior and chaos is usually a result to their fight against power.
    2 During the Urkainian Revolotion, from about 1918 to 1921, Nestor Makhno became father of The Free Territory. The population of this area was estimated around to be up to seven million.

  46. 1) The most interesting form of government in my perspective would be dictatorship because of how much control a person can have and also be encouraged by a group helping him and have no one defeat them.
    2) One of the examples that mostly sets an example of the dictatorship is Adolf Hitler dictating Germany and forming the Nazis. Taking over and destroying families that were Jewish for no specific reason.

    2.) an example of aristocracy would be ,The British parliament was long divided between the house of lords and the house of commons. The lords of course represented the aristocracy.

  56. 1. The most interesting form of government for me would be a limited monarchy. A limited monarchy is when a king or queen has rule but can only have so much power.
    2. An example of this can be the British Parliament, where the Queen is most likely seen as the Secretary of state and the British Parliament do most of the work.

  59. 1.) An absolute monarchy government is the most fascinating type of government to me because only one ruler has absolute power among his/her people and it's all royalty. It's also really fascinating how the power gets passed down from generations to generations so only one family can have power for hundreds of years

    2.) Even though absolute monarchy governments are quite rare, places like Saudi Arabia and Swaziland still have it. In Saudi Arabia, the king must comply with the Shari'a and the Qur'an. That's somewhat like how out presidents takes out with a bible.

    1. Anarchy is the form of government that interests me the most due to the fact that the gov., if any, has absolutely no control of the governed, or there simply is no gov. present to maintain control and order.
    2. An example would be the "Free Territory" in Ukraine in the early 1920s that was an attempt to form an ungoverned state.
