in which system of government would the least number of people have power over their own lives

1 answer

In general, a system of government where the least number of people have power over their own lives would be a totalitarian regime. In totalitarian systems, power is concentrated in the hands of a single leader or a small group, and individual freedoms and rights are severely restricted. Citizens have little to no autonomy or control over their lives, as the government exercises extensive control over many aspects of life, including political, social, and economic activities.

In contrast, systems that promote democracy, participatory governance, or decentralized power structures typically allow for greater individual autonomy and a larger number of people to have a say in their governance and lives.
