Republic • Not ran by a monarch or dictator. The people of that country can affect the government by popular vote. • Example: Ancient Greece

Oligarchy • A rule of which a select few people rule a country. • Example: Russia, prior to becoming a communist state.
Anarchy • Total chaos. While it sounds “cool” people would really live in fear. • Example: French Revolution, Salem Witch Trials
