Hey dad, today in social studies Mrs. Walnut said something I havent heard before. Its called a dictatorship, what is it?
What are the other types?
Well how are these different from each other, why cant there be one type of government?
Well son, a dictatorship is a type of government, there are a few different types. In some places there are dictatorships. Dicatorships are types of governments led by a person who made their way up through power.
Ohh, this government could be good but also probably has many flaws.
Another type of government is a communism. This type of government holds almost all the political power and the means of production. The people don have much of a say in anything
Ohhh, people at school today were talking about Queen Elizabeth and how she passed away.
Well next we have a monarchy, this type of government is ruled by a family and has pieces in each generation. It is either ruled by a king or queen such as Queen Elizabeth
I am a king. This is how it feels to be in a monarch.
The people dont have the power though.
This sounds like the best type of government, it gives the people a lot of power and still has rulers.
Well son, a democracy is another type of government. It puts the power in the hands of the people who can vote for who they want to lead in our country.
