Theocracy
By: Saige McGinnis; Block Two
So what is Theocracy? How does it work? How is it different from other governments?
The difference between theocracy and representative democracy, which is the form of government I live under, is in a theocracy you have to believe in the God in which you are told to believe in. In A democracy you are free to believe in what ever you want and you wot be killed for it. Also A democracy is simple, citizens voting on who shall lead them and having one main leader, the people get to have a say in what goes on in the government. In a theocracy it is mostly not brought up with the citizens what goes on.
To be honest if I had to choose between a democracy and a theocracy I would choose a democracy. I would choose a democracy because I like having something to say in how the government works. I like having rights and I like being able to safely believe in my own religion.
