A synonym for theocracy is "ecclesiocracy," which refers to a government where religious authorities hold political power.
Theocracy
Iran has a theocracy government, with the Supreme Leader serving as the highest authority and holding significant power over both the government and the Islamic religious establishment. The government is based on the principles of Velayat-e faqih (Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist), with religious leaders exercising control and influence over legislative, executive, and judicial functions.
Theocracy is an UNLIMITED form of government because the theocrat is not constrained by the rule of law. The theocrat is perfectly capable of committing crimes that are prohibited by law by a process of self-exculpation. There is the counter-argument that theocracy is a limited form of government because the theocrat is held to account by divinities or by religious doctrine (even though he is unaccountable to the people). This is fatuous because theocrats are often able to redefine religious doctrines or parrot new words for the divinities that will exculpate them of what should be a crime.
In a theocracy, a leader typically becomes a leader through religious or divine appointment. This means that their authority and power are believed to derive directly from a higher power or deity. The specific process of how a leader is chosen can vary depending on the religious beliefs and practices of a particular theocratic system. It may involve rituals, consultations with religious authorities, or direct divine revelation.
"Theocracy" means that power is held by religious leaders.
Answer 1It is called a religious government and a religious system of ruling. Answer 2:Theocracy.Answer 3In support of Answer 2, it is worthy to mention that theocracy ("theo-" = God, "-cracy" = government) is a government operated under divine rule, or the pretense of divine rule. In practice, this term refers to a government operated by religious authorities who claim unlimited power in the name of God or other supernatural forces.From the perspective of the theocratic government, "God himself is recognized as the head" of the state, hence the term theocracy is a term used by Josephus for the kingdoms of Israel and Judah.Taken literally or strictly, theocracy means rule by God or gods, especially in its biblical application.In a pure theocracy, the civil leader is believed to have a direct personal connection with the civilization's divinity. For example, prophet Moses (peace be upon him) led the Israelis, and prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) ruled the early Muslims.
It depends on how you define successful. The government is certainly functional; theocracy has consistently shown that it works in the sense that the government retains power and does not collapse. It retains power by repressing and jailing its rivals. If you define successful as: improving the standard of living, appealing to the majority of Iranians, securing human rights, bringing technological development to the country, etc., the current theocracy is a failure.
