Jason Trevino · Answer 1

The form of government that would be the best to have in this situation would be an oligarchy.

Explanation:

In an oligarchy, there are originally two or more leaders that work in coordination with each other. These leaders are expected to establish a bond on the basis of mutual understanding for the collective wellbeing of their subjects. In the given example, there are four leaders controlling four different areas of the city. In order to achieve ultimate wellbeing of all, these leaders should comply with the need of their subjects of peaceful administration and govern the city peacefully by keeping their powers intact.
