Forms of government.svg

Systems of government

Republican forms of government:

Presidential republics with an executive presidency separate from the legislature

Semi-presidential system with both an executive presidency and a separate head of government that leads the rest of the executive, who is appointed by the president and accountable to the legislature

Parliamentary republics with a ceremonial and non-executive president, where a separate head of government leads the executive and is dependent on the confidence of the legislature

Republics in which a combined head of state and government is elected by, or nominated by, the legislature and may or may not be SUBJECT to parliamentary confidence

Monarchical forms of government:

Constitutional monarchies with a ceremonial and non-executive monarch, where a separate head of government leads the executive

Semi-constitutional monarchies with a ceremonial monarch, but where royalty still hold significant executive and/or legislative power

Absolute monarchies where the monarch leads the executive

One-party states (in principle republics)

Military governments

Countries which do not fit any of the above systems (e.g. transitional government or unclear political situations)

A one-party state, single-party state, one-party system, or single-party system is a type of state in which one political party has the right to form the government, usually based on the existing constitution.[1] All other parties are either outlawed or allowed to take only a limited and controlled participation in ELECTIONS. Sometimes the term de facto one-party state is USED to describe a dominant-party system that, unlike the one-party state, allows (at least nominally) DEMOCRATIC multiparty elections, but the existing practices or balance of political power effectively prevent the opposition from winning the elections.
