DEFINITION: Theocracy: form of government inwhich the leader claims to rule on behalf of a god. SENTENCE: The king or shah is claiming that he is king because of theocracy by a god.
Theocracy originated in ancient cultures, with one of the earliest examples being in ancient Egypt, where pharaohs were considered divine rulers and intermediaries between gods and people. Additionally, Mesopotamian city-states practiced forms of theocracy, with priests holding significant power and authority in governance. The concept was further developed in religious societies, such as ancient Israel, where leaders were believed to be appointed by God.
