What's the best form of government?
Vote
What's the best form of government? Republic (oligarchy) means something like ancient Sparta or Rome, where either only a tiny percentage of residents were citizens entitled to vote, or the electoral structures were so slanted towards the few that a small percentage of citizens had a large majority of voting power. Democracy (oligarchy) means something like ancient Athens where again, a small percentage of the population had voting rights. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...

Why are you even drawing a distinction between democracies and republics in this case? The monarchy options presumably would already cover non-republican democracies. I'll admit I'm not that familiar with ancient greco-roman government, and your explanation doesn't do enough to distinguish them. --- pepsi for tv-game ... Copied to Clipboard!

DeepsPraw posted... Why are you even drawing a distinction between democracies and republics in this case? The monarchy options presumably would already cover non-republican democracies. The distinction is that in a democracy, the voters vote directly on all issues, whereas in a republic, they elect representatives to decide on the issues. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...

The UK elects members to a parliament to decide issues, but they aren't a republic since they have a queen. --- pepsi for tv-game ... Copied to Clipboard!

Right, the UK is a constitutional monarchy, which has its own option here. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...
