Question

which of these classifies governments to the extent to which power is or is not limited? multiple choice constitutional, authoritarian, and totalitarian constitutional, authoritarian, and oligarchy monarchy, constitutional, and totalitarian democracy, oligarchy, and monarchy

Explanation:

To determine the correct classification of governments based on the extent of power limitation, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Constitutional governments have limited power (bound by a constitution), authoritarian governments have more limited power than totalitarian but less than constitutional, and totalitarian governments have unlimited power. This fits the classification by power limitation.
• Option 2: Oligarchy is a government by a few, not related to power limitation. So this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Monarchy is a form of government based on a single ruler (like a king/queen), not on power limitation. So this is incorrect.
• Option 4: Democracy (rule by people), oligarchy (rule by few), and monarchy (rule by one) are classifications based on who holds power, not on the extent of power limitation. So this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. constitutional, authoritarian, and totalitarian
