Read the paragraph.Georgios Papadopoulos was a Greek military leader. In 1967, one month before a nationwide election, Papadopoulos executed a coup to take over political power in Greece, overthrowing the king and royal family. He captured and tortured political figures who opposed his rule, and later declared himself president. He then led the creation of a constitution that gave absolute power to the president, thus to himself.
An autocracy is a system in which one person holds nearly all political power. Papadopoulos seized control in a coup and created a constitution giving the president absolute power, which he used as president. This describes autocracy, not monarchy, because the ruler was not governing as a king.
