Which of the following best describes a government that is run by a few people? (A) Direct democracy, (B) An oligarchy, (C) Federalism, (D) Absolute monarchy
The correct answer is (B) An oligarchy.
An oligarchy is a form of government in which power is concentrated in the hands of a small group of individuals or families. This group makes decisions and holds control over the government and its policies, contrasting with direct democracy where citizens have a direct role in decision-making, federalism which involves the division of power between national and subnational entities, and absolute monarchy where a single individual rules with total authority.
