Notes:

  • Democracy: a form of government in which the supreme power is retained by the people, but which is usually exercised indirectly through a system of representation and delegated authority periodically renewed.
  • Constitutional democracy: a form of government in which the sovereign power of the people is spelled out in a governing constitution.
  • Democratic republic: a state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote for officers and representatives responsible to them.
  • Parliamentary democracy: a political system in which the legislature (parliament) selects the government - a prime minister, premier, or chancellor along with the cabinet ministers - according to party strength as expressed in elections; by this system, the government acquires a dual responsibility: to the people as well as to the parliament.

Most but Eritrea, where the president has promissed election in the coming 30 or 40 yrs, Somalia-cos has no government at all, Libya-cos the president 'knows' everything whats good for his people and few more!
