Individual Freedoms

The five main governments which one should know in early government studies are: Monarchy, Oligarchy, Aristocracy, Democracy, and Tyranny (Five ancient Greek governments). One way to classify different types of government is by the amount of freedom an individual has. Try to place the five different types of government on the above "Individual Freedometer," using the below "Line of Governments."

Note: Right side of line = Less Freedoms/More Order; Left = More Freedoms/Less Order.
