Answer
* **Autocracy:** one ruler with ultimate power* **Republic:** laws made by the people* **Theocracy:** rule by religious leaders* **Monarchy:** one king or queen until death* **Democracy:** social contract theory (While democracy is related to social contract theory, it's more accurate to define democracy as rule by the people. Social contract theory is a philosophical concept that often underpins democratic governance, but it's not a defining characteristic in the same way "rule by the people" is.)
