Democracy is a system of government which is chosen by the entire population or other eligible members of the state through elected representatives. A dictatorship is a form of government where a single individual or group of people wield power without any limitations to constitutional authority. DICTATORSHIP This article will further highlight the differences between democracy and dictatorship withinDemocracy Dictatorship The head of the country in a democratic government is the one who gets the most support in the form of votes in a general election. One individual is the sole authority of the country with no institution to keep its power in check Political control in a country is provided through free and fair elections, with two or more political parties being involved. In a dictatorship no elections take place or they are heavily regulated by restricting the number of political parties and limiting gatherings and associations The media in a democratic form of government is known as the fourth pillar of democracy as they watch the government's every move and criticise it should any misstep be taken.

In a democracy, the fundamental rights of the citizen are protected by the constitution. Citizens have the right to join political parties and other organizations. In a dictatorship, little importance is given to fundamental rights, with the populace being generally subjected to constant policing, monitoring and brutality. The earliest forms of democracy appeared in Ancient Greece. It is generally accepted that the Athenians established what is held as the first democracy in 508-507 BC. The democracy was rudimentary in the sense that only free- males of Athens could cast their votes but not women and slaves Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix and Gaius Julius Ceaser of Ancient Rome can be considered as the |" first dictators.Bern & Written by Viktoriya Sus (MA) | September 8, 2023 g Reviewed by Chris Drew (PhD) DEMOCRACY PROS AND CONS Democracy ia form of government in which all eligbe ctizens have an equal vote in selecting ts own leaders ADVANTAGES { pisaovantaces }- 1, Respects the will of the people SLAW sarge 2.
