The form of government is a monarchy.
Reason: Elizabethan England was a monarchy, so Hamlet’s setting under a royal court and focus on kingship and succession reflects that social/political reality. The other choices are either universal (a queen worried about her son), specific to the play’s plot (a prince vs. stepfather), or factually mismatched with Elizabeth I (the ruler in England was a queen, not a king).
