Answer

* **Autocracy:** one ruler with ultimate power<br />* **Republic:** laws made by the people<br />* **Theocracy:** rule by religious leaders<br />* **Monarchy:** one king or queen until death<br />* **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.)<br />
