Analyze the question prompt

The prompt states that Saudi Arabia is ruled by King Salman and the Saudi royal family, and that there has never been a national election. We need to identify the term that best describes this national government.

Evaluate the given options

• Communism: A system where the state owns the major resources and means of production, typically ruled by a single party. This does not describe rule by a king and royal family.
• Republic: A form of government in which power is held by the people and their elected representatives, rather than a monarch.
• Democracy: A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.
• Monarchy: A form of government in which a state is ruled by an individual (a monarch, such as a king or queen) who typically inherits the position and rules for life.

Match the definition to the prompt

Since Saudi Arabia is ruled by a King and a royal family with no national elections, its government is best described as a monarchy.
