Government

You are a government of the people, for the people and by the people

When you are democracy

You are a government by a sovereign with uncontrolled authority

When you are autocracy

You are a government by the nobility

When you are aristocracy

You are a government by the departments of state

When you are bureaucracy

You provide facts and figures

With your statistics

You are the science of government

You are politics

 

You are a government by a few

When you are oligarchy

You are a government by the wealthy

When you are plutocracy

You are a government by priests or ecclesiastics

When you are hierarchy

You are a government by divine guidance

When you are theocracy

You decide a political question by the direct rate of the whole electorate

With your referendum

And your period between two reigns

With your interregnum

 

You are a government of the church by bishops

When you are episcopacy

You are a government by a military class

When you are statocracy

You are a government by the worst citizens

When you are kakistocracy

You are the right of self-government

With your autonomy

You have an officer appointed by you to receive and investigate grievances of your citizens against the administration

That is your ombudsman

And a radical change in you; government

Is a revolution
