Answer 1

Elections limit the power of the following types of governments:

• Dictatorship
• Oligarchy
• Totalitarian

Elections can also be a feature of constitutional monarchies and constitutional republics, where they serve to limit the power of government and provide a mechanism for accountability, but these forms of government are generally not characterized by the same level of power limitation that is necessary in dictatorial, oligarchic, or totalitarian regimes.
