Question

Compare and contrast democratic and non democratic types of government

Answer 1

Democratic government is a representative form of government. The representatives of people are chosen through elections in which people cast their votes. There is universal adult franchise and law-makers are responsible to the people and constitution for their decisions. There is also a separation of powers among the various organs of government.

Non-democratic governments are non-representatice in nature and do not involve the participation of people in decision. Power is wielded by dictatorship or other unelected authorities. The decision-makers are not accountable to anyone for their decisions.
