- Monarchy
A monarchy is when one person has all the power. All the other civilizations we have studied were like this. Some call it an absolute monarchy since the ruler has absolute control. There are few rights for the people and the next oldest son rules when his father dies. The person in charge calls himself king, queen or emperor. On your study guide write Monarchy on the line. The city-state named Corinth had a government like this. Draw a picture that reminds you of a king. I already defined it for you.
