Notes # 10 Theocracy

? ? ? What is a Theocracy? ? ?

Theocracy A form of government when the ruler is looked at as a God or a representative of God, or gets his wisdom from God.

Under a Theocracy, people do not get a vote, and there is NO other type of government running the country, though some leaders create “fake” governments around them to make it seem like there are others in charge as well. (i. e. , the Senate during Roman times existed with the Emperors, but made no decisions. ) Why do you need more government leaders if the main leader is a God or chosen by God?

? ? ? Theocratic Monarchy? ? ? A lot of Monarchal governments are also considered Theocracies. Many kings and Queens claim their family is in charge because they were chosen by God. Many Kings and Queens are looked at as spiritual guides, “More Holy than the regular people. ”

Weird facts about North Korean Leaders They don’t poop. The current leader, Kim Jong Un, learned to drive when he was 3. His father, the second leader, Kim Jong Ill, was born and caused winter to turn into spring. He was also born on a sacred mountain. The first leader of North Korea, Kim Ill Sung, died in 1994, but to North Koreans, really isn’t dead, he’s a God, he can’t die. He’s just letting his family run the country.

!!!Theocracy YOU!!! Create your own Theocracy. In your own government, what would you have your people believe? How would you control your people? i. e. North Korea does not allow most of their people to have internet access.
