To complete the table comparing two different systems of government, you can use the following information:
-
Rule by a Democracy / Rule by a Monarchy:
- Democracy: Rule by elected representatives and the will of the people.
- Monarchy: Rule by a king or queen, often with hereditary succession.
-
Power Divided Among the Branches / Power Held by One Branch:
- Democracy: Power is typically divided among branches (executive, legislative, judicial).
- Monarchy: Power may be concentrated in one branch (the monarchy) or shared with legislative bodies in constitutional monarchies.
-
Power Shared / Power Delegated:
- Democracy: Power is generally shared among various levels of government (federal, state, local).
- Monarchy: Power may be delegated to advisors or local governors but is ultimately held by the monarch.
-
Role of Government Expanded / Role of Government Limited:
- Democracy: Often sees a more expanded role of government to address public needs and welfare.
- Monarchy: The role of government can vary; in absolute monarchies, it may be expanded, while in constitutional monarchies, it can be more limited.
Using this structured approach, you can clearly fill in each part of the table with relevant comparisons between democracy and monarchy.
