Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Theocracies are states that are ruled by religious leaders or institutions, where religious law is the basis for governance. This differs from divinely mandated governments, which suggest that the authority of the government comes directly from a higher power. Kleptocracies and oligarchies are forms of government where power is concentrated in the hands of a small, usually corrupt, group of individuals, which is not necessarily related to religion.
