A good state works for welfare of the
people, and a bad state becomes a source of havoc and destruction for the people.
There are many states present in the
world which existin different forms. The most popular and mostly driven form is
monarchy. Following are the types of states:
Democracy
Democracy means government which is by
the people
Democratic Empire (Republic)
Such state whose leader is not a king
but a chosen representative of the people.
Kingdom
Here queen or king is the head of state
and has control over all things. This prevailing form of Government is still in
existence since ancient time. Whereas it is in vogue in most of the countries.
After the death of the monarch, the successor is chosen from his/her own children
Aristocracy
Some of the states are such that are run
by the aristocrats of that state. In the present era it is a common thinking
that mostly nobles and aristocrats are those people who play an important role
to run the government.
Dictatorship
It is the system in which an individual or
a group of person run the government on the basis of power and override the existing
laws. But few people like this system.
Democratic Republic
Usually the democratic republic is
linked with democracy.In reality, those states who call themselves to be democratic
republic are in fact a form of Dictatorship. There are many states who follow
such type of system and its main example is China.
Caliphate
A new system of state namely Caliphate
was seen in the world. In order to make Islam the central figure, this system
proved to be the best one, in which the head of the state was known as Caliph.
These caliphs ran the affairs of the state in accordance with the Holy Quran (Book
of Allah) and the Sunnah (the acts of Holy Prophet S.A.W). The specialty of
this system was that that after Allah these Caliphs were accountable to the
followers of Islam. The selection of Caliphs was done according to the decision
of the genius people in religion.
Secularism
According to secularism, a state and religion
are taken in separate concepts. No matter whatever religions exist, but the
state is one for all. Truly speaking, in this state type, all religions are
treated and respected equally. In such a state, while giving any post or
employment, no distinction of faith and religion is made.
