Dictatorship
A dictatorship is a form of government where one person or a small group holds significant power and authority, often without the consent of the governed. In a dictatorship, political opposition is typically suppressed, and decision-making is centralized. This concentration of power can lead to oppression and limit individual freedoms. Unlike democracies, where leaders are elected and held accountable by the public, dictatorships maintain control through various means, including censorship and coercion. The dictator's decisions can have profound effects on society, economy, and civil liberties, shaping the lives of citizens often without their input.
