when we ask the question, we find that governments fall into two main groups. in some governments the pwoer is centered in just one or a few people who rule all the others. the big bosses make all the decisions, and the citizens have nothing to say about it. this form of government, which centers power in the hands of just one or a few supreme rulers, called Autocracy. in other main groups of governments, however, the power is not in the hands of one or few people. it is spread out among all the citizens share in making governmental decisions. this form of government is more familiar to us. it is called Democracy
to be by the people for the people, in other words; to protect the citizens' rights
I't means that the citizens of a country has the right to vote for their president, and for the people who will sit in other government positions ( senators, governors, etc.)
False !!
The way of life of the citizens of a country is greatly affected by that nations government. Examples are many, however, here are some basic reasons how people are affected: * A totalitarian government limits the freedom of its people. It can strike fear into all of the nations people whether they are near the "top" of the government's power structure or well beneath it; * Governments can enact laws that discriminate against minorities within the country. This can ferment into conflicts and violence among the countries citizens; * Governments can use their power to tax, in order to punish suspected enemies of the State. Placing high taxes on any group of people or on organizations and businesses can control them; and * Governments can make certain products people use and like to be illegal. Prohibition in the United States is a perfect example of this.
