Knowing how people elect their leaders and how those leaders govern nations is crucial to understanding how the world works. How countries elect their government and what type of government rules can have serious consequences in a nation’s future. Leaders can be democratic or authoritarian, or in between. Governments can also be democratically elected or manipulate elections, authoritarian systems can be toppled by reforms and revolutions, while democracies can gradually become less free by what we call democratic backsliding.
