Which of the following is a perverted form of democracy?

A. Feudalism
B. Republicanism
C. Monarchy
D. Oligarchy

Correct Answer:

Option B – Republicanism

Explanation

Republicanism is a perverted form of democracy.

It is a representative democracy in which the government is by the consent of the people. In short, it is a true test of Democracy.

Kingship, aristocracy and constitutional government are the true constitutional forms but they all have perversions that come to be when the rulers of these governments are catering to self-interest instead of the common interest. Kingship turns to tyranny when perverted, aristocracy turns to oligarchy and democracy is the perversion of the constitutional government of many. Democracy is the rule of the many poor who work for the interest of the needy while oligarchy is the rule of the few rich that take only their interest in the account as rulers. And tyranny, the perversion of the monarchy is a constitution formed for the interest of the one tyrannical ruler.
