Absolute Monarchy
Using a variety of sources (NOTES, books, internet, newspapers, magazines) make a poster (in
CANVA or alike program) to illustrate your assigned form of government:
Monarchy (limited/absolute)
Dictatorship
Democracy (Direct/Representative)
Republic
Theocracy
Totalitarianism
Include:
1. An icon or symbol that represents that form of government
2. A slogan that could be used to promote that form of government in an ad campaign (ad on
TV or Social Media)
3. Who rules in this type of government? How is it decided who should rule? Who has the real
power?
4. Who has no power or say in this type of government? How are they excluded?
5. An example of a country with that form of government in modern times. Use Vatican City as an example.
Monarchy (Absolute)
1. Icon or symbol: Crown
2. Slogan: "The Royal Rule - Stability and Tradition for a Flourishing Nation!"
3. In an absolute monarchy, a monarch rules as the supreme authority in the government. The position of the ruler is usually determined by hereditary succession, where the next in line inherits the throne. The ruler holds the real power and makes all the major decisions.
4. The citizens of the country have no power or say in the government. They are excluded from participating in decision-making processes and do not have the ability to elect their leaders.
5. Example: Saudi Arabia - It is an absolute monarchy where the ruling family, the House of Saud, holds all power and authority in the government. The King serves as the head of state and has the ultimate power in making decisions for the country.
It's supposed to be Vatican City.
Apologies for the previous response. Here is the revised answer based on Vatican City:
Monarchy (Absolute)
1. Icon or symbol: Papal Tiara (Triple Crown)
2. Slogan: "Divine Authority - Guiding the Faithful Towards a Blessed Future!"
3. In an absolute monarchy, the ruler in Vatican City is the Pope. The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church and holds sole authority in the government. The position of the Pope is determined through a traditional process of election, where cardinals gather in a conclave to select the next Pope.
4. The citizens of Vatican City have no power or say in the government. The country has no elected officials or representative bodies. The Pope has the real power and governs based on religious doctrine and principles.
5. Example: Vatican City - It is the world's smallest independent state and an example of an absolute monarchy. The Pope, as the spiritual leader of the Catholic Church, wields absolute authority in Vatican City and is responsible for governing the state and leading the faithful worldwide.
