Week 9: Tuesday: Forms of Government

Today we will look at different forms of government around the world...

We will look at a range of forms of government. All governments are on a spectrum (or scale) in how much of the power belongs to the people--and how much power belongs to the government. We will look at a variety of governments that fall into two basic types: Democratic forms of government and Totalitarian forms of government.
