    The main points relating to the position of the citizens with regard to their government in Saudi Arabia are as given below:
    (i) Hereditary king: A hereditary king rules the country. The people have no role in electing or changing their rulers
    (ii) King powers: The king selects the legislature as well as the executive. He appoints the judges and can change any of their decisions.
    (iii) Ban on formation of political parties: Citizens cannot form political parties or any political organisation. Media cannot report any thing that the monarch does not like.
    (iv) No freedom of religion : There is no freedom of religion. Every citizen is required to be Muslim. Non-Muslim residents can follow their religion in private, but not in public.
    (v) Position of women : Women are subjected to many public restrictions. The testimony of one man is considered equal to that of two women.
    Thus, in Saudi Arabia, the government is autocratic and non-democratic.
