Popular Goverments during the 1700's
Democracy - Leaders are elected by the people and power is held by the people.

Dictatorship - Power is held by the leader, and leader gains power by means of force

Monarcy - Power is passed down through bloodline

Goverments 2day(2000's)
Democracy - Leader still elected by people, most power held by people some to the leader.

Communist - People are all equal, good on paper, bad in reality.
