The people in a democracy get a say in what happens in the county but in a Dictatorship the people are ruled by one person who doesn't let the people have a say in what the people want.
I believe democracy is a better form of government than dictatorship.
There are many different types of government currently in power in the world including a constitutional democracy, an oligarchy democracy, a monarchy, a socialist government, and a theocracy. These are the five most common types of government.
Iraqs government is ostensibly a democracy. An imposed one. The US is also a democracy.
democracy is better as there is more power for the people and the power is not only in the hands of a dictator
In a dictatorship, only one person's opinion matters. In a democracy, multiple people's opinions matter. As a result, you are more likely to have disagreement in a democracy than a dictatorship. This disagreement is usually termed as "gridlock" by those who are annoyed by it.
A democracy is generally a more open society than a dictatorship.
Democracy gives the opportunity to solicit a broader base of idea from citizens enhancing more comprehensive policy making than dictatorship which crops only the ideas of the leader. It may be bias due to selfish interest, lack of vision among others
>>Every form of government except democracy is undemocratic.<< Some smart-arse changed my answer and in the process misinterpreted the intent of your question without attributing the change they made. One form of Government other than a Democracy would be a Dictatorship. Another would be a Theocracy (ruled by a religion). In the past there has been Autocracy.
A free market economy would be more likely to be found in a democracy rather than a totalitarian dictatorship because it is is a market in which there is no economic intervention and regulation by the state, except to enforce private contracts.
A dictatorship or autocracy would have little or no citizen participation. An oligarchy (rule by a favored few) would have less participation than the typical representative democracy.
Dictatorship and Democracy are both form of governance. Dictatorship is ruled by a tyrant leader while Democracy is ruled by the majority and is for the common welfare of its subjects. The similarity between the two is that they are widely seen as a type of governance and such cannot exist without its subject or citizen to be ruled upon. Similarities are very few between the two, however, both are forms of political control. Democracy and dictatorship both involve a central figure of authority, since there is not "true" form of democracy. An example, Obama and Mussolini are both central authoritative figures. If we were talking about a true democracy, a similarity could lie in the fact that neither are very effective. Whereas a true democracy would get nothing done because of disagreement, a dictatorship might make all of the wrong decisions because there is no dissent. They're are both ineffective forms of extreme governing.
