  • 2. 

    Rule by none

    • Democracy

    • Anarchy

    • Oligarchy

    • Answer option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. Anarchy
    Explanation
    Anarchy refers to a system of governance where there is a complete absence of authority or government. It is characterized by a lack of hierarchy, rules, and regulations, leading to a state of disorder and chaos. In this context, "rule by none" aligns with the concept of anarchy, as it implies the absence of any governing body or authority. Democracy, on the other hand, involves the rule of the people, while oligarchy refers to a system where power is concentrated in the hands of a few individuals. Therefore, the correct answer is anarchy.

    • Answer option 4

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    An oligarchy is a form of government where power is held by a small group of individuals. In an oligarchy, the ruling group may be determined by wealth, social status, or other factors. This form of government is characterized by limited participation and decision-making power for the majority of the population. Therefore, an oligarchy aligns with the given description of "rule by the few" and is the correct answer.

    Correct Answer
    A. Autocracy
    Explanation
    Autocracy is a form of government where one person holds absolute power and authority. In this type of system, the ruler has unrestricted control over all aspects of governance and decision-making, without any checks or balances from other individuals or institutions. The given statement "One person rules" aligns perfectly with the concept of autocracy, as it implies a concentration of power in the hands of a single individual.

    "Republic" is the same thing as an indirect democracy

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    An indirect democracy is a form of government where representatives are elected by the people to make decisions on their behalf. A republic is a form of government where the head of state is an elected or appointed president, rather than a monarch. In a republic, the power lies with the citizens who elect their representatives. Both terms, "republic" and "indirect democracy," refer to a system of government where representatives are chosen by the people, making the statement true.

    Which is an example of a oligarchy?

    • Republic

    • Constitutional Monarch

    • Theocracy

    • Answer option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. Theocracy
    Explanation
    An example of an oligarchy is not provided in the answer options. Theocracy, on the other hand, refers to a system of government where religious leaders hold the power. In a theocracy, religious laws and principles govern the state, and religious leaders often have significant influence or control over political decisions. This form of government is different from an oligarchy, which is a system where a small group of individuals hold power and make decisions for the entire society.

    • All men are created equal

    • Illegitimacy of tyranny

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. No man is above the law
    A. All men are created equal
    A. Illegitimacy of tyranny
    Explanation
    The values found in the Declaration of Independence are reflected in the answer choices provided. "No man is above the law" emphasizes the principle of equality before the law. "All men are created equal" is a fundamental belief in the inherent equality and rights of all individuals. "Illegitimacy of tyranny" highlights the rejection of oppressive and unjust rule. However, the statement "Church leaders are to run our government" is not a value found in the Declaration of Independence, as it promotes a specific religious influence in governance which is contrary to the principles of separation of church and state.

    • Direct Democracy

    • Indirect Democracy

    • Absolute Monrach

    • Theocracy

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Absolute Monrach
    A. Constitutional Monarch
    A. Dictatorship
    Explanation
    The correct answer choices are Absolute Monarch, Constitutional Monarch, and Dictatorship. These three options are types of autocracies because they involve the concentration of power in the hands of a single ruler or a small group of individuals. In an Absolute Monarchy, the ruler holds absolute power and inherits the position, while in a Constitutional Monarchy, the monarch's powers are limited by a constitution. A Dictatorship refers to a form of government where a single individual holds complete authority and often seizes power by force. These three options align with the characteristics of autocratic rule, making them the correct choices.

It also recognizes the right to a trial by jury as a fundamental aspect of a fair and just legal system. Additionally, the Declaration of Independence promotes the idea of economic freedom, which includes the right to pursue one's own economic interests and enjoy the benefits of one's labor.
