- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A theocracy is a form of government in which religious leaders hold the highest authority. However, it is possible for a theocracy to coexist with other forms of government. For example, a country may have a theocratic system in which religious leaders have significant influence and power, but there may also be elements of democracy or monarchy in the government structure. This means that while the religious leaders may have a strong role in decision-making, there may be other branches or individuals within the government who have their own powers and responsibilities. Therefore, it is true that a theocracy can exist with other forms of government.Rate this question:
