How is power distributed in different forms of government?

In a totalitarian government, the dictator (often called a tyrant) has total power. He/She has the highest authority in the government.

In a monarchy, it is Parliament that has highest authority. Yes, the King or Queen answers to someone else.

In a republic and/or democracy, the politicians listen to the people of the country, and the senate or congress has the highest authority. I know what you are thinking, "But the president has the highest, that is why he/she is president." Trust me, the president has to listen to Congress. Congress can veto a president's veto, which mean that it has higher authority in the government.

In an anarchy, no one has power. It's just mass chaos and disorder.
