Government plays an important role in making a state or country prosperous. But not every government is successful in doing so. The success of a government depends on their skills, intentions and their commitment to the society.
Our country has a democratic government but not every country works in same way. Now you will say, “we know there are Monarchy governments” as well. But, that’s not the end, you know?
There are many more kinds of governments around the world that exist or have existed in the past. Here’s a list of 10 kinds of governments that you must know about-
