Detailed explanation-1: -Theocracy is the exercise of political power by the clergy or laity of a particular religion, usually, although not necessarily, claiming to be acting primarily on behalf of a divinity and governing according to its principles and requirements.
Detailed explanation-2: -A theocracy is a government run by religious leaders, or one where there is no distinction between religious and civil laws. Iran and the Vatican City are two examples of theocracies. A monarchy is a government that has a king, queen, emperor or empress as the head of state.
Detailed explanation-3: -Theocratic states, such as the Papal states of Europe in medieval times or in recent times the Taliban-controlled states, lacking separation between religious and political institutions, are known for their hierarchies, and oppressions, and reluctance to allow freedom of religion to members of other religious groups.
