    The political structure of the Arabian and Byzantine empires greatly differed from each other. The Arabian empire was ruled over by a Caliphate. The Caliphate was the successor to the great prophet Muhammad. Politically, the Caliphate sometimes caused trouble for the stability of the empire. With multiple groups such as the Umayyad and the Abbasid believing the were in charge of the Caliphate led to conflicts and violence. An example of conflict would be towards the end of the Abbasid empire when the death of Harun al-Rashid brought several full scale revolutions. Another example would be at the beginning of Abbasid empire when they went as far as too kill off all of the remaining Umayyad leaders to sustain full control with little to no interference. Politically, the Arab/Muslim empire stretched from India and the Middle East into the Africa, the Mediterranean, and Iberia. They also had a large influence in Southeast Asia. When they conquered these areas, there was no forced conversion. On the other hand, they did enforce a higher tax for non-Muslims which prompted people to convert. Only later were there violently forced conversions. A testimony to this would be when the Muslims invaded India and did not touch the Buddhist or Hindus already there. They even respected the Hindu leadership and allowed them to continue.

It is said that, one of the main purposes of the empire is to enlighten and convert the people to Islam as well as to govern them according to the laws prescribed by Muhammad himself. Besides that, we have also observed how the Byzantine Empire associated the church and the state. The conversion of Barbarian kings to Christianity, the giving of blessing by the church to their rule and the coining of the title “Holy Roman Emperor” by the Pope show just how much religions had influenced the governments of that era. In the later part of history, democratic governments started to arise replacing hereditary monarchies. This happened in the U.K. after the Glorious Revolution in 1688, whereby the power of the monarch was reduced so greatly and replaced by the Parliament.
