It depends on definitions. The most common form of government throughout history has been ABSOLUTE MONARCHY. Some people consider "absolute monarchy" to be a subset of dictatorships, in which case, dictatorships, which include numerous other forms of government other than absolute monarchies, would be the most common form of government throughout history. If monarchy is considered independently of dictatorship (usually because dictatorship is defined as having a non-hereditary assumption of power), then the numbers of dictatorships are far outweighed by millenia of absolute monarchies, especially in the Ancient, Classical, and Medieval World.
