Montesquieu's 3 Types of Governments: Republics; Monarchs; and Despots who rule by Mandates & Executive Orders - American Minute with Bill Federer
"Politics" is derived from the Greek word "polis," which means "city." Politics is the business of the city. "Citizen" is a Greek word which means "co-ruler." Where kings and despots have "subjects" who are subjected to their will, democracies and republics have "citizens" who are "co-rulers." A "popular government" is where the "population" of citizens govern themselves.
