What are the three key components of Canada's system of government?

Republic, democracy, monarchy
Federal state, parliamentary democracy, constitutional monarchy
Direct democracy, oligarchy, anarchy
Presidential, communist, federal

The correct answer is: Federal state, parliamentary democracy, constitutional monarchy

Canada's system of government is a federal state, which means it is a union of provinces and territories with a central government that shares power with the local governments. It is also a parliamentary democracy, where the people elect representatives to make laws and decisions on their behalf. Finally, Canada is a constitutional monarchy, meaning it has a monarch as the head of state, but the power lies with the elected officials. A) This answer is incorrect because Canada is not a republic, as it has a monarchy as the head of state. C) This answer is incorrect because Canada does not have a direct democracy, where citizens directly participate in decision making, nor is it an oligarchy, where a small group holds power. D) This answer is incorrect because Canada does not have a presidential system or a communist government. It is a federal state, meaning power is shared between the central government and local governments.
