- Feudalism
- Republic
- Anarchy
- Feudalism is the dominant social system in medieval Europe. The nobles had land given to them by the Crown in exchange for military service. Vassals were tenants of the nobles. Lastly, peasants (villeins or serfs) were forced to live on their lord's land to do labor and share produce from farming. Other classes worked for nobility in exchange for military protection. An example of Feudalism is during the Viking era. During this time, nobility held the land and peasants and vessels worked for them in exchange for protection from Muslim invaders.
- Oligarchy
- Republics were founded on the idea that power rests with the people. However, some people were excluded and included based on race, gender and wealth. Republics are a form of government where a state is ruled by representatives of the citizen body. Modern Republics are like the United States government where the power is given to the people through a voting system. In a republic, not everyone has equal rights as some deal with descrimination and poverty. We also see this happen in the United States.

- Aristocracy
- Anarchy is the type of society where there is no government, laws, police, or any other authority. Anarchism is a political belief that does not like authority and reject hierarchy. Anarchism wants to get rid of the state because it is viewed as unnecessary and harmful. An example of Anarchy are cults or other communities that do not follow guidelines. It is often associated with not being religious either. Anarchists are typically non-violent and try to fight for their values on a public platform.

- Oligarchy is a government where the majority of the power is held by a small number of people. People with the power can have different statuses such as nobility, celebrity, wealth, high education, corporate, or military. Regardless, the members of the ruling class in an Oligarchy are wealthy and use their wealth as power over the common people. Examples of Oligarchies are Russia, China or Iran. More specifically, in Russia, the government is run by a small group of people who hold a high status in society. Vladimir Putin has been in power for a long time.

- Theocracy is a type of government in which a God is recognized as the highest authority. The God being worshipped gives instructions to humans that carry out the specific tasks in the government. The people running the government follow the advice from God to create their own culture and religious beliefs. An example of Theocracy is in Saudi Arabia. Here, the government is run by a king and prime minister who listen to the word of Allah. The ruling family has absolute power and there is no Constitution
