Monarchy: A monarchy is a form of government where supreme power is vested in an individual ruler who inherits their position through bloodlines (such as kings and queens). The ruler's authority is derived from their lineage.
Dynasty: A dynasty refers to a sequence of rulers who come from the same family line. Dynasties often rule over extended periods and maintain continuity in governance by passing power through generations.
Hereditary Succession: Hereditary succession is the process by which leadership positions are passed down within families according to predetermined rules. This ensures that positions of power remain within specific lineages without requiring elections or appointments based on qualifications alone.
