dyarchy

Read a random definition: Property - State statutes

A quick definition of dyarchy:

Dyarchy 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 refer to a system of government introduced in India in 1919, where the provincial executives were divided into two sections - one authoritarian and one responsible to the provincial legislative councils. This system ended in 1935 when full provincial autonomy was granted.

A more thorough explanation:

Dyarchy (pronounced dI-ahr-kee) is a form of government where two people share the ruling power. The word comes from the Greek words "dy" meaning "two" and "archein" meaning "rule".

  • William and Mary of England jointly ruled the country as a dyarchy.
  • In India, the Government of India Act, 1919 introduced a system of dyarchy where the provincial executives were divided into two sections - authoritarian and popularly responsible. The authoritarian section was composed of councillors appointed by the Crown, while the popularly responsible section was composed of ministers appointed by the governor and responsible to the provincial legislative councils.

The examples illustrate how dyarchy involves two people sharing the ruling power. In the case of William and Mary, they jointly ruled England as a dyarchy. In the case of India, the provincial executives were divided into two sections, each with different levels of authority and responsibility.
