Explanation:

To solve the crossword puzzle, we analyze each clue:

Across Clues:

1. A type of democracy where citizens elect leaders to represent them in government → Representative (matches the length and context of electoral democracy).
2. A small group that rules a country after taking it over by force → Junta (a military junta is a group seizing power by force).
3. One person has all the power → Autocrat (a ruler with absolute power).
4. Type of democracy where citizens are involved in day - to - day government → Direct (direct democracy involves citizens’ direct participation).

Down Clues:

1. Recognizes God as the ultimate authority in government and law → Theocratic (theocracy is rule based on religious authority).
2. One leader has absolute control over citizens’ lives → Dictator (a dictator has absolute control).
3. Citizens hold the political power → Democracy (in a democracy, power lies with citizens).
4. A small group of people has all the power → Oligarchy (oligarchy is rule by a small group).
5. People are not subject to any ruler or government → Anarchy (anarchy is the absence of government/rulers).
6. A king or queen rules the country → Monarchy (monarchy is rule by a monarch like a king/queen).

Filling these words into the crossword grid (matching the letter counts and intersections) will complete the puzzle. For example, the “Across 3” (Representative) will intersect with down clues at appropriate letters, and so on for each word.

(Note: If you need help with the grid filling, you can match the first letter of each word to the starting square and then fill the rest based on the number of letters. For instance, “Monarchy” (Down 8) has 8 letters, “Dictator” (Down 2) has 8 letters, etc.)
