Answer 1

Oligarchy (Greek Ὀλιγαρχία, Oligarkhía) is a form of government where most or all political power effectively rests with a small segment of society (typically the most powerful, whether by wealth, family, military strength, or political influence). The word oligarchy is from the Greek words for "few" (ὀλίγον óligon) and "rule" (ἄρχω arkho). Some political theorists have argued that all governments are inevitably oligarchies no matter the supposed political system.

In modern usage, junta typically refers to a collective military dictatorship, which comprises a committee of high-ranking military officers (itself called a junta). Juntas are often not collegial in practice, as one officer often holds most power.

Answer 2

Oligarchy is rule by the elite few, whether chosen by blood or money or some other means. Some argue that the US is currently an oligarchy, because those in power retain power and its very difficult to break the cycle of incumbency.

Junta is control through intrigue and political manipulation, rather than force. The best example is the way many people accuse the media of being behind so many different things, because the media influences what people think.

Answer 3

Although I fear I am doing you homework; here ya go:

The rest is up to you. AND there are quite a few people who consider the present regime in Washington to be an ogliarchy. They did not, however, reach power through a junta.
