Monarchia

（μοναρχία). A form of government in which the supreme functions of political administration are vested in a single person, no matter whether this person is an hereditary or an elective ruler, or one who has usurped power. When he appoints all the other officials, Aristotle speaks of the form of government as παμβασιλεία. Plutarch describes the Roman dictatorship as μοναρχία. See Aristot. Polit. iii. 14.
