Answer:

ONE PARTY SYSTEM 

• In a one-party system, one political party controls the government, and other parties are either banned, marginalized, or exist only as token opposition. The ruling party typically controls key institutions like the legislature, judiciary, and media.

• China: The Communist Party of China (CPC) has been the sole governing party since 1949, with other parties existing but subordinate to the CPC.
  

• North Korea: The Workers’ Party of Korea holds absolute power, with no legal opposition.
  

• Cuba: The Communist Party of Cuba is the only party with significant political influence.
  

• Historical examples include the Soviet Union (Communist Party) and Nazi Germany (National Socialist Party).
