Answer 1

Elections limit the power of the following types of government:

• dictatorship
• oligarchy
• totalitarian

Elections can also exist in a constitutional monarchy or constitutional republic, but these systems inherently limit governmental power through constitutional frameworks and democratic processes. However, elections are not typically a characteristic feature of dictatorships or totalitarian regimes, which usually centralize power in the hands of one or a few individuals.
