Teocráticos

Teocráticos is a term derived from "theocracy," a form of government in which a deity is recognized as the supreme civil ruler, or in which religious leaders rule in the name of God or a god. In a theocratic system, laws are often based on religious texts and doctrines. The ruling officials are typically religious leaders, such as priests or imams, who are believed to have divine guidance or authority. The legitimacy of the government stems from its perceived connection to the divine.

Historically, many ancient civilizations exhibited characteristics of theocratic rule, where rulers were considered divine or semi-divine figures. Modern examples, while less common, still exist, often in states where religious law is integrated into the legal system and religious figures hold significant political power. The specific form and practices of theocratic governments can vary widely depending on the dominant religion and cultural context. Challenges within theocratic systems can include the balance between religious dogma and secular governance, minority rights, and the potential for religious authority to be used for political control. The term itself is descriptive of a political structure where religion plays a central and defining role in the exercise of power.
