alone due to which of the following and here your potential answers [mumbling]

- 00:34
decree means.. Essentially it's a style of ruling that allows for a quick and [Teacher holding his hands in the air]
- 00:38
unchallenged creation of laws by a single person or group it's most
- 00:42
commonly used by dictators, absolute monarchs and older sisters...naturally then [Older sister screaming]

really not the greatest of ideas it is however the correct answer to the
- 01:48
question knowing this makes your older sister all the more scary doesn't it [Older sister looking angry in her room]
- 01:52
because while Hitler at least had to pass a lot of rule by decree she didn't.. and
