(i)    Mughal government was a monarchy. The emperor was all-in-all having all executive, legislature and judiciary powers in himself. He was chief commander of the forces. The position of all ministers were just the government officials of the present day government.

(ii)    Though empire was divided in certain provinces, parganas, districts and villages, yet the all governors were appointed by emperor himself.

(iii) The change of the government was not done by the people as it is done by voters today.

Generally succession was either decided by the emperor or the major courtiers or on the basis of sword of might. The Mughal rulers saw themselves as appointed by Divine will. Now-a-days after every five year or even earlier the head of the state i.e. the president or the head of real administration or government is change by the public through ballot. During the Mughal period sometime throne was smashed by force. The example is of Shershah, who has defeated Humayun and force him leave Hindustan. After the gap of fifteen years he defeated the successor of Shershah and again got his throne. The authority of Akbar, Jahangir and even Shah Jahan was challenged by their own sons or blood relations.
