The main types of government systems include democracy, monarchy, oligarchy, socialism, communism, totalitarianism, and dictatorship. A democracy is defined as a government of the people, where leaders are elected by the masses, aimed at preventing abuses of power[1][2]. A monarchy is led by a single ruler, often hereditary, while oligarchy refers to rule by a small group possessing power due to factors like wealth or race[1][2].

Totalitarianism and dictatorship are characterized by absolute power held by a single leader or party, often suppressing individual freedoms[1][2].
