A quick definition of duarchy:
Duarchy is a type of government where two people rule together. This can be seen in history, such as with William and Mary of England. It can also be a system of government, like the one introduced in India by the Government of India Act, 1919. This system divided the provincial executives into two sections: one authoritarian and one popularly responsible. The system ended when full provincial autonomy was granted in 1935.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A government that is jointly ruled by two people.
Example: William and Mary of England ruled as a duarchy.
The term "duarchy" comes from the Greek words "duo" meaning "two" and "archia" meaning "rule". It is similar to the term "diarchy" which also means a government ruled by two people. An example of a duarchy is the joint rule of William and Mary of England. They were both crowned as co-monarchs in 1689 and ruled together until Mary's death in 1694.
