Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is "Bureaucracy."
Key Points
- "Bureaucracy" refers to a system of governance where the important decisions are made by state officials rather than by elected representatives.
- This term is originated from the French word "bureau," meaning desk, and the Greek word "kratos," meaning rule, translating to "rule by office or desks."
- In this system, administrative policies are conducted by nonelected officials who follow set procedures.
Therefore, the correct answer is "option 4".
Additional Information
- "Democracy" - It refers to a system of government where the citizens exercise power by voting. In a pure democracy, the decision-making is handled by the people directly, not by the officials.
- "Hypocracy" - This is not a valid word in English; possibly it's a misspelling of "hypocrisy."
- "Hypocrisy" - It is not a form of government at all; instead, it refers to when someone's actions are not consistent with their claimed beliefs or feelings.
