- Feudalism is a very common social system of Medieval Europe.  Whatever rank of the social society you were on would determine how much land and how rich were. These ranks were ranks such as the king, lords, knights, and peasants. Knights were given land from the lord if they served in the military. Many peasants worked as farmers and would pay taxes. Therefore, in order for the Feudal System to work they need peasants. Medieval Spain used Feudalism.
- Republic
- VOTE!
- Communism is a social system that is still used today. Communism is when all land is owned by the government even their houses. Everything is available to everyone and not just one person. Everyone is completely equal and everyone has food supply. This helps with reducing poverty. Although this could be good it is not allowed to be wealthy and nobody has motivation in anything. Russia uses communism.
- Dictatorship

- This is a crime!
- Anarchy is when there is literally no government. When there is no government everyone has unconditional freedom and can do whatever they want. When this happens it could be very dangerous. When government become absent, there will be many protest from people who would like to keep the government absent. These people will still protest even when the government is back. If the government stays absent there will most likely be chaos and there will be a downfall of a country. Cavemen had anarchy.

- We're so rich.
- A republic is when the citizens of a country are able to vote and choose political symbols and systems. Citizens are able to vote for a president or leader in an election. Having a republic can heavily determine how a country will run because of the type of people in a nation. The citizens of a country have full right to speak for political debates. This wouldn't be allowed in some countries and is sometimes illegal. In a republic there is not a monarch but a leader that can't control literally everything. Mexico uses Republic.
- A dictatorship is when one person, the dictator, is the entire government. The dictator has control over the media and the branches of government. The ruler of the country in a dictatorship is often way too powerful and they start to want too much. In a dictatorship, violence such as murder and imprisonment are used to control the population. In a dictatorship there are no rights for citizens. Since the dictator has control of everything, he/she can do whatever they want to something they. don't like. Nazi Germany was a dictatorship.
- An Oligarchy is when a small group of people have control of a country. It is usually for one group because that group wants everything in that country. Oligarchy is good for balancing out the way of governing. When people in the group of a Oligarchy want power it can lead to many conflicts. In an Oligarchy, citizens don't have many rights because the people in the Oligarchy have complete control. Most of the citizens are poor. China is an Oligarchy.
