What are the main differences between authoritarian governments and democratic governments?
Answers
Democracy and authoritarianism are to some extent opposing forms of government. On the one hand, democracy is the form of government in which, through the vote of the citizens, its representatives are elected, who will defend their ideals and interests. Theoretically, in a “pure” democracy, the majority can not be limited in any way and should always be able to impose itself over the minority. On the other hand, authoritarianism is a political regime in which power is exercised in an authoritarian way. This means that whoever represents the highest figure of authority in a state practices abuse of it. Forms of government such as dictatorship or fascism usually practice authoritarianism as a way of maintaining power over its citizens. It should be mentioned that a democracy could become an authoritarian government in certain cases; in theory oppose, in practice is something that could happen. #agarwal✌️✌️
Within democracies, parties serve to coordinate the pursuit of interests for like-minded citizens, whereas in authoritarian systems, they are a way for authoritarian leaders to find capable elites for the regime.
