- Constitutional democracy: a form of government in which the sovereign power of the people is spelled out in a governing constitution.
- Democratic republic: a state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote for officers and representatives responsible to them.
- Parliamentary democracy: a political system in which the legislature (parliament) selects the government - a prime minister, premier, or chancellor along with the cabinet ministers - according to party strength as expressed in elections; by this system, the government acquires a dual responsibility: to the people as well as to the parliament.
Most but Eritrea, where the president has promissed election in the coming 30 or 40 yrs, Somalia-cos has no government at all, Libya-cos the president 'knows' everything whats good for his people and few more!
According to the Democaracy Index there are no Full Democracies in Africa:
The following countries in Africa are considered Flawed Democracies in that they have some issues that inhibit full democratic freedom for a significnat portion of theri population.
Benin
the rest of the countries in Africa are considered to be either Authoritarian, or a Authoritarian-Democratic hybrid in which democracy is either not practiced, or practiced in a corrupt form as to render it ineffective.
