Explain different models of government in detail? 1. INTRODUCTION: A government is like a team that runs a place, usually a country. It has three parts the legislature, the executive, who make things happen, and the judiciary. The government makes sure rules are followed and decides on new rules. Every government has its own set of important rules called a constitution that guides how it works.
2. MEANING: “Government is like a rule-making team that takes care of a country. It makes laws, keeps things in order, and helps people with services. It also makes sure everyone's rights are protected and decides how things should be done in the country.” 3. DEFINITION: “A government is the system to govern a state or community.” 4. THE FORMS OR THE MODELS OF GOVERNMENT: • Democracy: Democracy comes from Greek words meaning 'people' and 'government rule.' It's a system where people choose leaders through elections, giving power to the people. In a parliamentary democracy, elected representatives gather in parliament to make laws. There are different types of democracies, but they all let people choose leaders and have a say in decisions through fair elections. • Monarchy: A monarchy is a type of government led by one person who got the position because they're part of a royal family. In the past, these rulers had lots of power and made all the rules. This was called "absolute monarchy." Nowadays, most monarchs mostly do symbolic things and don't have much say in running the country. A constitutional monarchy is when a country has a written plan (constitution) that says how the country will work and what people can do. The ruler is still a king or queen, but they follow the rules in the constitution and don't have much real power. • Republic: A republic is a country where the leader, known as the president, is picked through elections. The president can also be in charge of
the nation. Presidents have a set time to work called a term. In some places, presidents can only work for a few terms. A republic can be democratic or not. In a democratic one, people vote for leaders. But sometimes, in countries where the president is more of a symbol, they might be chosen by the government. In some not-so-democratic republics, a small group picks the leaders, who can stay in power for a long time without getting elected. Sometimes, there are elections, but they might be unfair or limit people's choices. • Totalitarianism: In a Totaliarian society, the government has complete power over everything in people's lives. People have to follow the government's beliefs or they'll get in trouble. This started in the 1920s with countries like Italy and Nazi Germany. • Fascism: Fascism is a type of government where a single leader has a lot of power. This leader is usually a dictator, meaning they make decisions without asking the people. In a fascist government, the leader and the government control everything - how the country is run, what people can do for work, what they can believe in, and even how they act socially. Fascist governments are very patriotic, which means they want everyone to be super loyal to their country. They often use aggressive and war-like policies, which can lead to conflicts with other countries. So, in simple words, fascism is when one powerful leader and their government control everything in a country, and they're often mean to certain groups of people while being really aggressive and bossy internationally. • Dictatorship: In a dictatorship, one person, called a Dictator, has absolute power. This differs from totalitarianism in that it is less controlling and not marked by a rigid set of beliefs. Sometimes a country run by a dictatorship may be called a republic. Such republics have only one political party and the dictator makes most government policies and decisions.
