AI overview
A theocracy is a system of government where religious leaders or authorities claim to rule on behalf of a deity or divine power, handling the day-to-day decisions of the state. It matters because it represents a form of rule where religious authority and political power are combined, which significantly shapes how laws are made and societies are governed.
