Who Rules? | Forms of Government | Types of Government | iCivics - Free Printable

It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled "Who Rules?", which asks students to identify the form(s) of government for different countries based on descriptions provided. Since I can't view images directly, I'll help you solve this based on the text content you've described.

Let’s go through each country and determine the correct forms of government based on the descriptions:

---

1. Switzerland

> Citizens elect representatives to sit in two different lawmaking assemblies. But citizens also vote several times a year to decide on laws, citizens can vote to propose their own laws or state laws passed by their representatives. If citizens have veto power, they can reject laws directly in citizen votes.

- Key elements:
- Elected representatives → Representative democracy
- Citizens vote directly on laws → Direct democracy
- Citizens can propose laws (initiatives) and reject laws (referendums)

✔ Forms of government:
Representative democracy and Direct democracy

---

2. South Africa

> There is one leader, official public in South Africa gave voting rights all the political parties. Even though the majority of South Africans were black, non-whites could not influence government. White South Africans elected representatives to a lawmaking body.

- This description appears to refer to the apartheid era (before 1994), when only white South Africans had full political rights.
- The system was dominated by white minority rule, with white-only elections.
- Only whites could elect representatives → Authoritarian regime or Minority rule, but specifically it's a parliamentary system under racial segregation.

However, since it says “white South Africans elected representatives,” and there was no equal representation, it reflects:

✔ Form of government:
Parliamentary system (but with racial exclusion) — more accurately: Minority rule or Racially segregated parliamentary system

But if we're using standard categories from the worksheet, likely intended answer is:

👉 Parliamentary system and Authoritarianism (or Racist dictatorship – though not standard).
But since the question asks for "form(s) of government," and based on typical curriculum language:

✔ Form of government:
Parliamentary system and Authoritarian regime

*(Note: In modern South Africa, it's a democratic republic, but the description refers to the past.)*

3. North Korea

> One man leads North Korea and controls its military and police. He controls all voting and political parties. The ruling party chooses candidates for the Assembly, and citizens vote. The candidates do not have opponents to choose from.

- One man leads → Dictatorship
- Controls military, police, politics → Totalitarian regime
- No real choice in elections → No free elections
- Ruling party picks candidates → Single-party state

✔ Forms of government:
Dictatorship and Single-party state

---

4. Saudi Arabia

> Saudi Arabia is led by a king who appoints officials to run the government. There are no elections. Saudi Arabia's legal system is based on Islamic law. The Islamic holy books the Qur'an and other religious traditions.

- King appoints officials → Monarchy
- No elections → Non-democratic
- Based on Islamic law → Theocracy (religious law governs)

✔ Forms of government:
Monarchy and Theocracy

---

5. Denmark

> The people of Denmark elect representatives to sit in Parliament, a lawmaking body. The prime minister heads the country, but she runs a cabinet that is appointed from among the elected representatives.

- People elect representatives → Representative democracy
- Prime minister heads government → Parliamentary system
- Cabinet members come from elected reps → Parliamentary democracy

✔ Forms of government:
Parliamentary democracy and Representative democracy

---

6. Brazil

> Brazil is led by a president who is elected by the citizens. Citizens in Brazil elect members of Congress and local officials. Citizens also elect representatives to serve in two different legislative bodies.

- President elected by citizens → Presidential system
