Name and briefly describe the three forms of government that can result depending on how governmental power is distributed geographically.

Aristotle originated the 3 main forms of government, they are: Monarchy - which is a form of government that usually includes a royal family, including an inherited King that stands as the head of all decision making and authority. Aristocracy is another form of government which government is ruled by a small group of privileged, yet knowledgeable and qualified leaders; usually men whose families were wealthy and owned land and also held high value beliefs. Lastly, Polity, which is a sum of groups or organizations who are chosen to rule. This form of government is probably the most widely used as it is also the most obscure.
