Forms of Government 


Margaret: Okay, the teacher said that we should set up an ideal form of government for our imaginary country and then work out detailed 1 plans for governance. 


Tony: I think the simplest is a dictatorship. I’ll make all of the decisions. 


Margaret: You’re sounding like a fascist 2. This is supposed to be a partnership 3, remember? 


Tony: Okay then, let’s make it a monarchy 4. I can be king and you can be queen. 


Margaret: You’ll probably still make all of the decisions as king. Maybe we should consider an oligarchy 5. Your family and mine can rule equally. 


Tony: That’s fine with me, but you’re the communist, or at least socialist 6. Don’t you think an oligarchy would be too elitist? I would think you would prefer a meritocracy of some sort. 


Margaret: This isn’t about my personal politics. It’s about what’s best for our imaginary nation. How about a simple democracy? 


Tony: There’s nothing simple about a democracy. How about no government at all? 


Margaret: You mean anarchy 7


Tony: Sure, that would be the simplest. 


Margaret: Why do I get the feeling that you’re making suggestions based on the amount of work this assignment will take, rather than political considerations? 


Tony: That’s because you’re very perceptive 8. I have a big weekend planned!
