{'fair election': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'government': [5, 0, 0, 1], 'authoritarian': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'monarchic': [5, 0, 0, 0]}

The correct answer is option 1: Democratic.

A democratic government is based on free and fair elections, where the people have the right to choose their leaders. In a democratic system, those currently in power are not guaranteed to remain in power, as there is a fair chance of them losing in elections. This principle of accountability ensures that power is not concentrated in the hands of a few individuals or a single party.

Option 2: Autocratic refers to a government where power is concentrated in the hands of one individual or a small group, with limited or no input from the general population.

Option 3: Monarchic refers to a government where power is inherited by a royal family or monarch.

Option 4: Authoritarian refers to a government where power is held by a single leader or group who exercise strict control and do not allow political opposition or free elections.

Alert - correct answer should be option 1: Democratic
